One Thursday afternoon in 1983, my grandmother Rosa Tursi, a 72-year-old Italian immigrant, was watching her favorite soap opera, Another World,  when bank robbers carrying a gun and a grenade burst into her Montreal apartment and took her hostage—at least according to my family. We’ve been telling this story for years. But did this really happen as we remember it, or have we all been exaggerating? In the short documentary The Time My Grandmother Was Held Hostage by Bank Robbers, I join members of my family to re-tell the story to get to the truth.
