THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED NOT TO SLEEP

#SIMA2024 HUMANITAS AWARD WINNER
Part quest for justice - part journey towards healing. Decorated Nashville cop Mark Wynn wrestles with his own violent childhood while working to reform decades of domestic violence mishandling, cover-ups, and abuse from deep within law enforcement.
“I lived with a monster. I know how this works.” With access to sensitive police trainings, the film explores the complex relationship between law enforcement and family violence and brings a nuanced dialogue on accountability in connection to crimes against women. Lt. Wynn inspires communities - and especially men -- to stand up to better support women and children victims.
