Episode 1 • Apr 13, 2021
Firm in a Firm
Revealing the dirty secrets behind London's policing with a story of corruption that goes to the very top of the Met and leads to the formation of the first internal anti-corruption unit.
Episode 2 • Apr 20, 2021
Goodbye Rotten Apple
The second episode dives into the sleazy underbelly of London's Soho in the early 1970s, where an explosion of dirty pornographic bookshops provides an open invitation for corrupt cops to be greedy. With insider interviewers and archive footage, this episode continues to unearth the lawless underworld of 1970s London, audacious levels of police corruption and the birth of the internal force tasked with stopping the rot.
Episode 3 • Apr 27, 2021
Taking a Drink
By the late 1970s, armed robbery had been brought to a state of near-perfection. Seen as a 'glamour crime', it was committed by men prepared to take big risks, survive shootouts with the police and die for the prize. But despite violent armed robbers being arrested, evidence was being watered down, and criminals were being granted bail. Money seemed to be passed to bent cops via middlemen to get lawbreakers released. Despite sweeping changes brought in by Sir Robert Mark in the Metropolitan Police, this final installment reveals how, in the late 1970s, corruption within the City of London's CID had grown out of control - and how Operation Countryman was launched in response.

The Avenue

The Avenue

As cities across Canada and the United States are faced with the urban flight epidemic, city cores have become a place somewhat of a wasteland. Neglected buildings, decreased populations, and increased crime, lay in the wake of urban sprawl and the lure of the suburbs. No longer willing to sit back and watch their neighborhood fall further into disrepair, residents living in Edmonton's inner city created grassroots initiatives as a way of taking back their neighborhoods. The film follows their process over the course of one year revealing their community spirit and the power people have when they come together for change. But can they revitalize their neighborhood without falling into the pitfalls of gentrification?
