What is Under the Bridge about?

"Reena Virk, a 14-year-old girl, went to join friends at a party and never returned home. Seven teenage girls and a boy were accused of the savage murder," the official synopsis reads.

Virk was a teenage Canadian girl of South Asian descent who was bullied by her peers.

On 14th November, Virk was lured to a party near the Craigflower Bridge where she was beaten by seven teenage girls and one teenage boy.

Virk eventually escaped, but as she was walking home, two of her attackers – Kelly Ellard, who was 15, and Warren Glowatski, who was 16 – attacked her again, with both later found guilty of second-degree murder.
