Disney has announced that the documentary series, “Sound Of The Police”, which is coming to Disney+ in Canada on Friday, 13th October 2023. “Sound of the Police” examines the fraught relationship between African Americans and the police, often rife with tension, fear, suspicion and hostility on all sides. Framed by some of the most recent conflicts between Black Americans and police officers, which garnered national media attention, the film traces the country’s complex racial history that set the path for policing in Black communities and fuels the ongoing conflict between African-American communities and law enforcement.

The documentary also looks at contemporary efforts to confront and resolve that conflict.
