Trigger Point (2014)

Thousands of police officers carry advanced weapons daily, most never using them on duty. But for those who do, their lives are irrevocably altered. In the 1980s, Australian police faced a violent conflict with armed criminals, resulting in retaliatory killings and escalating fear and violence. *Trigger Point* gains exclusive access to the police community, investigating the tragic events that occur when officers fire on the citizens they are tasked with protecting. Featuring previously unseen footage and candid accounts from officers who made the difficult decision to shoot – and have never spoken about it publicly – *Trigger Point* provides a rare and compelling look at the impact of routinely carrying a firearm.
