Back in 2018, Canadian writer and director Kelly Fyffe-Marshall was one of four people involved in a high-profile incident when a white woman who lived nearby a California house they were renting through Airbnb, called the police, claiming they were burglarizing the home.
“As a result of that the police came, there were seven cars and a helicopter that came around thinking that we had broken and entered into someone’s house when it was just a…property that we were renting,” Fyffe-Marshall told Yahoo Canada.
Following the traumatic incident, the filmmaker is now premiering her short film Black Bodies at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), created as a way for Fyffe-Marshall to cope with what happened to her.
