The Reena Virk Story

Full length DVD available at http://www.heartspeakproductions.ca
Reena Virk was only fourteen when she was beaten and drowned by a group of her peers in a middle-class suburb of Victoria, B.C. For over a decade now, Reena's parents, Suman and Manjit Virk, have struggled through rage and grief, bureaucracy and trials, media and misinformation; yet their main focus remains on the life affirming values of service, compassion, truth and understanding. Their profound dedication to the prevention of similar tragedies, has led them into dialogue with communities, professionals and one of the youths responsible for Reenas death. Manjit and Suman's courageous journey brings us to reconsider much of what we believe about love, conflict, compassion and justice.
