A short film by Shan Vincent de Paul of MAGNOLIUS
On the weekend of June 26, 2010 thousands of Canadians marched the downtown streets of Toronto to protest the G20 Summit and its intentions. The Canadian government invested over 1 billion dollars (55 million dollars an hour) in security to supposedly protect its citizens. The outcome resulted in over 900 questionable arrests by the police and riots squads that flooded the city.
That fateful weekend Shan Vincent de Paul hit the streets of his city to witness the events surrounding the summit. What he saw, and what he captured on camera were disturbing to say the least. The result is a short film titled 'UBIQUITY' that is both haunting and moving. This film manages to do what most of the amateur 'handicam' footage does not and presents several scenes that the mainstream media networks refused to show. The film gives us a glimpse of some very human moments, equally touching and irrational, on both sides of the shield.

I cannot believe the audacity of the police force - completely disregarding law and the rights of people to congregate
