TIFF ‘22 Coverage: ‘My Policeman’
'My Policeman' simultaneously delighted and disappointed audiences at TIFF, but everyone can agree that the performances and truth of the story will convince audiences that this film is worth the watch.

While the villagers do everything they can to find a way to cure his insomnia, the long nights he spends awake allow him to remain constantly available to help his neighbours, expecting nothing in return.
