On February 19, 2011, eight-year-old Cynara Ali was found unresponsive in her family home in Toronto, Canada. Her mother, Cindy Ali, told police that two men had broken into the house. But as investigators began examining her account, Cindy herself became the focus of the investigation.
Cynara, who had cerebral palsy and experienced seizures, died following the incident. What began as an investigation into an alleged home invasion developed into a murder case, with police questioning Cindy’s version of events.
As the case moved through the Canadian justice system, investigators, lawyers and medical experts examined the circumstances surrounding Cynara’s death. Cindy maintained her innocence, while her family stood by her through years of legal proceedings.
Through personal interviews, archival footage and courtroom proceedings, Cynara explores the investigation, the evidence and the impact of the case on the Ali family.
