My Policeman explores the pain and challenges that gay people throughout history have had to endure. Tom's profession as a law enforcer complicates this, as he struggles between upholding the law or following his heart. While set in the 1950s, this story still resonates today, as anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and the criminalization of homosexuality remain a pressing issue worldwide. My Policeman will be in select theaters on October 21st and will be available to stream on November 4th exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
