Featured review
Excellent movie
I just watched this movie, and I wish it could be shown to Cops around the world, to remind them of citizenship, community engagement, a hunger and desire to see positive change, and their role in that enterprise, and ... what have you ... It's a well-written movie with various sub-plots that puts a human face to the drug problem in our cities, and can go a long way to show cops what life on the beat could be like in solving urban/community problems.
I am challenged by the movie, and will start looking for it to buy. It is a good example of creative problem-solving for students of life. It also raises many salient issues about the fine line between condoning and 'worrking with' drug cultures versus just showing the bare facts to make a point, and hoping that people will get the point being made. It also shows the fine line between the 'investment' of tax dollars on such 'rehab' and hand-holding initiatives, versus doing what is conventionally expected from the police service, and not 'wasting' tax dollars on such unconventional initiatives.
As an educator, I find this to be a compelling movie that would be useful in debating issues including public budgeting/resource allocation, the police services, public service in general, community engagement, creative problem solving, change-making, ethics, leadership, etc...
Anyway, this movie in a word, is "excellent".
