THUNDER BAY — The creator of the new documentary series putting a critical eye on issues of racism and policing in the city says he hopes it will amplify calls for change.
The first two episodes will be available Friday on Crave, the streaming service owned by Bell Media, with the final two dropping on Feb. 24. “Growing up in Fort Frances, Thunder Bay was the big city for me,” he said. “Anytime we needed school clothes or anything like that, we’d go into the city. I had many family members [here and] I played hockey in the city.”
The show delves further into what McMahon calls a "stark divide" between white and Indigenous people in the city, botched investigations into Indigenous deaths, and a “civil war” within the police service. “If change was coming, if you're proud of the things you are doing, why wouldn’t you come and sat in the chair and talked to me?” he asked. “They didn’t, and that, I think, speaks volume.”
