APR 7

'Peace Officer' Screening

The increasingly tense relationship between law enforcement and the public is seen through the eyes of someone who's been on both sides: a former sheriff who established Utah's first SWAT team, only to see the same unit kill his son-in-law in a controversial standoff thirty years later. Now a private investigator, Dub seeks the truth in this case and other officer-involved shootings. Rasmuson Hall, 7p.m. to 9p.m. alaskapublic.org/ indie-lens
