A Bullet Pulling Thread

In January 2020, the RCMP killed homelessness activist Barry Shantz at his home in Lytton, B.C during a mental health crisis. That morning, his family called 911 for help.

What they got was an army of police officers, including snipers, but not a single mental health worker. In response to this tragedy, his sister Marilyn creates a series of art quilts called Kairos - a Greek word which means 'an opportune time for action'. A Bullet Pulling Thread is a documentary that follows Marilyn's journey through grief while telling the story of her brother's life.
