Zimbabwe-born Charles Mudede has been
writing the unique "Police Beat" for five years.
According to The Seattle Times, Mudede "visits
police stations once a week, checks the log, and,
after talking with the officers involved, incorporates
whatever he finds most interesting into his column."
Director Robinson Devor says his love for
Seattle and Mudede's "fantastic" journalism
convinced him to make the low-budget
independent film: 'Police Beat' particularly
caught my eye because it has a poetic tone
to crime that other crime logs in other papers do
not."
