Synopsis

Shed is based on the 2006 incident where a group of children, aged 8 to 11, pushed 14-year-old Brian McKay into a shed, closed the door, and lit the shed on fire. They blocked the door with heavy garbage bins and left him there to burn. Brian, who suffers from spina bifida was an easy target for bullying, and was saved by a neighbour. Because the children involved were under the age of 12, they were protected by the Canadian Youth Justice Act, and, therefore, could not be charged. The police gave them a warning.
