Feel free to post stuff in here yourself, people…
Received this note a couple of days ago…
"Please post this — it's an amazing film"
Mounties Under Fire – Premieres on CBC – January 21 at 9pm
Yes, that's tonight. So tune in…
If you're one of the tens of thousands whose trust in the RCMP has been rocked by repeated scandal, here is a film you must see. MOUNTIES UNDER FIRE is a gripping journey into the heart of the RCMP during a period of profound crisis, revealing a painfully flawed organization fighting for its life.
From top brass to beat cop, Bountiful Films captures a force in the throes of self-examination, struggling to get back to its core values. Filmmaker Helen Slinger was struck by the frankness, and discomfort, with which senior RCMP responded to the film. "When commenting on the intimate view of the force that resulted from the open access we were able to negotiate, one senior Mountie said it all: 'Riveting, but it hurts.'"
