10-7 for Life
Exploring the contrasts and absurdities of patrolling the streets, this film looks at everything from the now-almost-routine gang shootings to a colleague's shocking murder, while also capturing what police officer Carol Banks describes as "babysitting" - officers trying to help people who can't look after themselves. Filmed by Carol's sister, Cindy Banks, this film offers a rare inside look at a police force struggling to cope with an increasingly violent city, and an intimate portrait of one burnt-out cop who has to get out for her own peace of mind.
