Cory Bowles is a multidisciplinary artist from Canada. He has appeared as an actor in film, radio, and television shows, receiving a Gemini Award for the role of “Cory” in the TV series Trailer Park Boys, which he currently serves as a director. He works as a principal choreographer, and director and has created over 70 works/choreographies for stage, and film. His work reflects his fascination with racial identity and social and cultural structures. His short films have been screened at multiple festivals around the world. Black Cop is his debut feature.
It’s not easy being a black cop. Your community doesn’t trust you, your colleagues are wary of you, and everyone assumes you hate NWA. And when the world is on edge waiting for a grand jury verdict on a high profile police case involving unarmed youth, you can bet all eyes are on you. For one black cop already struggling between duty and moral obligation, it only gets worse when he is profiled by his colleagues off-duty, nearly getting himself killed in the process – pushing him over the edge. Armed with the power of his badge, an antagonizing radio show for company, and some good old fashioned rage - the stage is set for a whirlwind day filled with vendetta and just desserts – as black cop targets the very community that justifies his colleagues –on a collision course with his own identity. Racial tension, law enforcement, and social media are the focus in this hyper active satire.
