Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.

The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Episode 94 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.
A young Black woman with long braids, a bright pink head wrap and black top, and a really big smile

The debut feature of Halifax hyphenate Koumbie — known as an actor for the stage and screen, a writer, and a director — will have its world premiere at the Atlantic International Film Festival on September 22.Bystanderstells the story of a lifelong friend group rocked to its foundation by accusations of sexual misconduct against one of their own. He’s their friend, brother, even ex-boyfriend — so now what? As Koumbie puts it, “What do you do when someone you love does something you hate?” A thoughtful conversation that digs into the grey areas of so-called cancel culture, how it is to be an actor directing actors, and what the filmmaker hopes you’ll take away from the experience.
