THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED NOT TO SLEEP

Director & Producer: Kirsten Kelly and Anne de Mare,

 Andrew W. Schwertfeger

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.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
