Who Polices the Police? CASE 137, which is in UK cinemas now, answers that question. It's a terrific drama that talks about fighting for the truth.

@marksearby.comJohn Cazale and Al Pacino starred in three films together. They did stage productions together. They were also best friends.
I KNEW IT WAS YOU: REDISCOVERING JOHN CAZALE looks closely at their work and friendship. @saltyshep.bsky.social, the director of the doc, talks about them: buff.ly/S4VeMTc
@marksearby.comYesterday someone came into a #LFF press screening an hour after the film started.
Why?
Why bother?
@marksearby.comManaged to grab a signed copy of Michael Douglas' autobiography. Hoping for plenty on Black Rain and Falling Down.
