Recent events and protests have pushed the issues of police brutality and systemic racism to the forefront of public attention, with departments in communities across Canada facing reckonings. The shockingly high rates of police-related shootings and killings in Calgary give special urgency to this hard-hitting documentary by Marc Serpa Francoeur and Robinder Uppal.
