After the Sirens

After the Sirens (2023) is a documentary, crime film directed by Melissa De Freitas rated 7.0/10.

Aiming to expose the extreme mental and emotional demands of being a police officer, After The Sirens is an intimate documentary that unmasks how mental health is perceived and addressed in the police force from first hand accounts. The film invites viewers to consider the mental resilience required to be an officer, with conversations surrounding trauma exposure, emotional labour, multiculturalism and personal experiences of coping. Through displaying the force’s involvement in a recent traumatic case, as well as the trauma encountered throughout their individual careers, the documentary offers the opportunity to go inside the policing mind.
