After the Fire Review | A Simmering Film Asks Who Will Protect Us from the Police

After the Fire, or Avant que les flammes ne s'éteignent, stokes the burning truth that must be reiterated: though the police are meant to protect us, they don't always do so equally or without prejudice. America continues to unfortunately see evidence of this, from the murder of George Floyd in 2020 to, more recently, the Seattle officer who struck and killed a young woman with his car and whose bodycam footage revealed him "joking" about writing an $11,000 settlement check because, to him, she "had limited value" (via NPR). What's more, it's not a purely American issue; many police institutions around the world are culpable.
