Pit Bull

When I enteredWarsaw Police Headquarters in 1999 for the first time,I saw warped wood floors and shabby furniture from the days of the former system. Inthe Homicide Division,I saw cops crying while questioning a woman who had murdered her baby. Later I learned they were seasoned officers, whose crime detection rate reached 90%...For the next three years, I recorded their work, as a casual observer. Most importantly, I could witness the private life of a homicide officer at close range.The result:two documentary series forTVP1,The Real Pigs,and Tapes ofTerror. Unfortunately, the documentary genre could not convey the full range of emotion and experience that I witnessed. If I wanted to show the whole truth, I would have to make a kind of reality show filming their lives around the clock. But I would never have received permission to air most of the material.This is a story about values. Made in film noir style, it portrays the exploits of five Homicide Operational Officers.
