In recent years HOME has celebrated the work of Charles Burnett, a key American filmmaker. This Black History Month we screen his under-valued police drama, The Glass Shield.
Perhaps the closest Burnett comes to genre filmmaking, the film explores racism and sexism within the Los Angeles police force. With a top-notch cast including Michael Boatman, Ice Cube and Lori Petty, Burnett creates a complex and tense drama that reveals the pressures and limitations on those seeking to find justice in a corrupt system.
