COVERAGE
This film project was a unique undertaking from day one. Having no sponsors, grants, or organizational backing, all of the work involved in bringing this project together was enabled by those who cared passionately about the topic. Just under a third of our production budget came from strangers who believed in our work. When it was finished, the director took a leave of absence from his job as a full-time police officer and worked with departments and organizations across the country, screening the film and conducting discussions on contemporary American policing, showing the film over 85-times coast to coast. Thousands of people have seen and been effected by the film and discussion. The following is a library of media sources covering our work and screenings, many of which contain interviews with the director.
