I'm Just Here for the Riot
DETAILS
On June 15, 2011, Vancouver hosts Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Canucks and Boston Bruins. The city is a hive of nervous energy with the home team on the verge of its first-ever title. Record crowds gather in the streets in what is a joyous – if anxious – atmosphere. But when Boston stuns the Canucks to win the Cup, the mood turns dark and dangerous. The situation quickly devolves into a full-blown riot, an orgy of violence that sees cars overturned and burned, windows shattered, businesses looted, and lawlessness reign… as hundreds of cell phone cameras capture it all. The city awakens to the scene of a war zone, as the world wonders: how could this happen?
