Force

"Sprawling, immediate, and complex, Peter Nickss vérité documentary moves like a pulsing, timely thriller. In 2014, after over a decade of federal monitoring for misconduct and civil rights abuses, the Oakland Police Department hires Chief Sean Whent in hopes of bridging an historically tense divide between its officers and the community they serve. The Force captures everything; it hovers over Oaklands evening skies and rides inside speeding police vehicles, granting viewers breathless firsthand access to some of law enforcements most dangerous jobs. With fly-on-the-wall intimacy, we see a department trapped in transition, desperate to shed its corrupt image but also challenged by an increasingly organized and urgent Black Lives Matter movement erupting right outside its doorstep."  Harry Vaughn, Sundance Film Festival
