Viacom’s Bet is exploring the men and women on the front lines fighting police brutality and injustice in a ten-part series from Critical Content-backed Renowned Films.
Copwatch America marks the biggest commission to date for the British production company, which has offices in La and which Tom Forman’s Critical owns a stake.
