About the Film
Part of the 10th Annual Filmmakers Showcase.
Peace Officer is a documentary about the increasingly militarized state of American police as told through the story of ‘Dub’ Lawrence, a former sheriff who established and trained his rural state’s first SWAT team only to see that same unit kill his son-in-law in a controversial standoff 30 years later. Driven by an obsessed sense of mission, Dub uses his own investigation skills to uncover the truth in this and other recent officer-involved shootings in his community, while tackling larger questions about the changing face of peace officers nationwide.
Film will be introduced by Utah Film Commissioner Virginia Pearce and will be followed by a Q&A with directors Scott Christopherson and Brad Barber along with Dub Lawrence.
