Short documentary film, 2010
Premier at Maysles cinema, NYC
Susan Peake, Review Vancouver:
By far the most intense contribution was A Harlem Mother, the story of a woman who lost her son to gun violence. Directed by Ivana Todorovic, we are taken through the pain and heartbreak that so many parents living in Harlem have endured and continue to endure today. When the documentary ended and the credits rolled, the theatre was silent – as we struggled with the emotional journey we had just taken.
