10–7 for Life is a funny, raw and occasionally violent chronicle of the last two weeks of Carol Banks's career as a cop in Parkdale, Toronto. Exploring the contrasts and absurdities of patrolling the streets, the film looks at everything from the now-almost-routine gang shootings to a colleague's shocking murder, while also capturing what Banks describes as "babysitting" – officers trying to help people who can't look after themselves. Filmed by Carol's sister, Cindy Banks, this film offers a rare inside look at a police force struggling to cope with an increasingly violent city, and an intimate portrait of one burnt-out cop who has to get out for her own peace of mind.

    Neo documentary is supposed to have a personal POV. With a few exceptions, Herzog does this well; appending a sort of magic realism to his subject matter. In this documentary, the filmmaker is unable to get any emotional distance from her subject. Structurally, a centripetal symmetry validates the police-sister’s POV, making the contrapuntal police officers look like fools. Filmed with greater distance, the police-sister would have looked more dangerous, which would have been unacceptable to the filmmaker-sister. Generally, I would say that when you ascribe characteristics to ‘other people’ they represent insecurities you find in your own character. The police-sister is obviously burned-out, at one point prosecuting a suspect on the street. This is the kind of dangerous situation taking place here in the US where young black males are being prosecuted, judged, and executed by confused police officers. There is a startling scene at the end of the film where the police friends huddle in a darkened public space and drink beer. A vehicle approaches; they ask that the camera light be turned off…..they are afraid it might be a cop. #####
