A real introspective look into the lives of people who stand agaisnt police brutality by filming interactions with cops as bystanders. It delivers an emotional story of their lives in the aftermath of high profile videos that have helped open all of our eyes to the injustices that many see, feel, and experience at the hands of those sworn to protect us and uphold the law. This documentary captures angles and emotions so well, it's engaging, it's stirring, and it's riveting. I appreciate the work they do as Cop Watchers and the work that was put into making this film.

Personal concerns fill the movie out to feature length but add little to the complicated debate over reforming police tactics.

More of a stream of consciousness film than an eye-opening piece filled with revelations about police behavior and citizens rights, Copwatch left me wanting more.

It's uplifting and emotional, and there's a glimmer of possibility in an interaction with an officer near its end that turns both thoughtful and productive.

Well...Here we are gain in 2020 talking about police brutality and injustice once again. What's different? The revolution and injustice is filmed and black folks are not going down without the scales of justice being tipped forever.

[Camilla Hall's] characters are hopeful and, so, perhaps is Copwatch.
