A very powerful doc surrounding the frame-up of a restaurant
owner and former NYPD cop, Mike Borelli, by the Denver Police. Not only did
Denver police frame Borelli, mainly because he was Italian, but they framed his
old friend Bob Davis, too, also a cop. It’s infuriating and an absolute
travesty of injustice what happened to these men. The film is very well-made
and highly emotional. Confusing at first, because of the barrage of names the
audience is hit with early in the film. But the story becomes clear as Borelli
and Davis emerge, both incredible models for patience and forgiveness. A highly
admirable work of art, as it sets out to change minds and right wrongs. It will
make you sad and it will make you angry, and that’s the point.
