NO VISIBLE TRAUMA

Director & Producer: Marc Serpa Francoeur,

 Geoff Morrison, Marc Serpa Francoeur, Robinder Uppal

Amidst the global uprising against police violence, No Visible Trauma is a searing investigation of the deeply troubled police department in the Canadian city of Calgary, which shot and killed more people than the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. From the kidnapping and beating of a young African immigrant, to a “wellness check” turned fatal, the film exposes extreme police brutality and a justice system that refuses to hold officers accountable.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
