With every police shooting, it’s not just a black and blue issue—it is more of a grey issue. In A Shot Through The Wall, the fictional film explores a policeman’s story as he navigates through the consequences of an accidental shooting that affects his career and family life.

The film stars Kenny Leu, Ciara Renee, Clifton Davis, Lynn Chen, Tzi Ma, Derek Goh, and Dan Lauria. Aimee Long directed and wrote the movie.

Here is the official synopsis:

After an accidental shooting of an innocent Black man in Brooklyn, Chinese-American police officer Mike Tan must wade through his profound guilt as he attempts to navigate the complicated worlds of media, justice, and racial politics.
