The Glass Shield (DVD + Blu-ray)
A fiIm by CharIes Burnett
The first bIack recruit in his squad, rookie cop JJ Johnson (MichaeI Boatman, The Good Wife) struggles to adapt to Iife on the force when confronted by the inherent prejudices and corruption of his precinct.
lmmediately positioned as an outsider, along with feIlow novice cop Deborah (Lori Petty, Tank Girl, Orange is the New Black), JJ witnesses at first-hand the brutality and implicit racism of his white colleagues. When an unIawful search results in the arrest of Teddy Woods, (Ice Cube, Boyz N the Hood) on dubious murder charges, JJ risks his job and his Iife to reveaI the truth.
Directed by Charles Burnett (KiIler of Sheep, My Brother's Wedding), this thriIling drama shines a Iight on the deep-rooted raciaI tensions of the American justice system and the toIl of opposing institutionalised bigotry.
