Sheepdog

Amina is a Police Officer patrolling the streets of Cleveland where she grew up. Ryan escaped small town Ohio to join the force. She’s African American, he’s white. When they fall in love, competing loyalties challenge the future they hope to build. Amina must reconcile her commitment to Ryan and the family they hope to start, the community she serves and calls home, and her sworn oath, as a police officer, to the Constitution of the United States. Sheepdog challenges audiences to candidly examine class, race, love, and that infinitesimal, life-changing moment before a Police Officer discharges their weapon. In 21st century America there are, of course, no easy answers.
