Crime + Punishment
directed by Stephen Maing, USA 2018, 112' (English friendly)
- Stephen Maing’s latest documentary chronicles the revolutionary lawsuit filed by 12 officers against the New York Police Department. The whistleblowers decided to put an end to the harassment of innocent citizens, in particular African Americans and Latinos, in an effort to inflate police statistics and increase the city’s budget. The director doesn’t focus on the legal complexities of the case. Instead, he films his characters on the streets, at checkpoints and in police cars—in everyday situations that tell the real story behind their dramatic decision. Watch cameras and hidden microphones help us understand how the police force tries to eliminate those seen as traitors from its ranks.
