Description

Discover one of the most insightful documentaries ever made about life on the force in this hard-hitting portrait from Toronto doc star Alan Zweig (Hurt, When Jews Were Funny). Guided by Zweig’s signature conversational style, thirteen retired police officers lay bare the experiences that continues to haunt them long after they turned in their badge. Ranging from the sweet and funny to the gruesome and traumatic, their unguarded truths paint an honest and humane look at the toll of police work, and what it really means to protect and serve.
