In the United States, police have been granted extraordinary powers to control people's personal lives. Police decide who is suspicious and who "fits the description." They define threats and determine how to respond. They demand obedience from people, accompanied by constant threats of violence. Real and perceived criminal behavior, as well as threats to social order, are defined by the police, and thousands of such interactions play out every day in cities and towns. The police make the state's abstract power concrete. The film "Behind the Power" traces the accumulation of wealth, the consolidation of political power, and the nearly unrestricted bipartisan support that created the police system as we know it. From 18th-century slave patrols to the first publicly funded police department in the 19th century, and to the uprisings of the 1960s and 2020s, this film offers a profoundly immersive journey through the evolution of history. A mix of articles, interviews, and archival collages, "Behind the Power" uses historical materials to elucidate our current reality and investigates urgent issues related to growing, largely unchecked authority: who is regulated, who is protected, who decides, and why.
