This documentary film explores national conversations of over-policing and racial bias as they unfold in the quaint community of Vergennes, Vermont---far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. While the Black Lives Matter movement is often seen playing out in more urban spaces, this film watches a rural, overwhelmingly white community grapple with a startling fact: its police force has some of the worst racial bias in the state and possibly the nation.
