Description
Women in Blue, The Role Female Police Officers Play in Police Reform. Women in Blue Offers an unprecedented view into the inner workings of the Minneapolis Police Department. Chronicling a department and a community-grappling with racism and a troubled history of police misconduct long before an MPD Officer killed George Floyd in May of 2020. The film reveals the limitations of police reform through incremental change and asks questions that apply well beyond the City of Minneapolis. Could increased gender equity and more women-especially black women- contribute to greater public safety?
