SPIKE UP

Dir. Anthony Maras

English language
Australia/2008/29mins/digibeta
Written by Anthony Maras
Produced by Anthony Maras & Kent Smith

Family, friendship and drug mules are inextricably entwined in this sobering meditation on police ethics and responsibilities, in the tradition of Serpico and Blue Murder. An encounter with a drug-addled Aboriginal, his wife’s infidelities and an old friend’s dark secret leaves a cop wrestling with a crisis of conscience, warping his previously straight-edged moral code.
