The Black Cop: a villain, a victim and a hero – Bafta 2022 Best Short Film winner
2022 · 25 min · English
★ BAFTA, British Short Film (2022)
Gamal Turawa spent years as a Metropolitan Police officer profiling and harassing the same black and gay communities he belonged to, and this portrait sits with him as he reckons with that record. It is an uncomfortable, specific account of complicity rather than a redemption story, told by the one person who can tell it.
