In his observational documentary 'Into the Blue', filmmaker Ömer Sami explores the transformative yet jarring experience of young girls participating in a police bootcamp in Copenhagen.
The film captures Tatheer, a timid 12-year-old girl, as she transitions from feeling out of place in her veil and riot gear to gaining confidence through intense simulations.
Through a mix of simulation activities including handling guns and riot control, the bootcamp blurs the lines between education and hazing, creating a complex environment.
Sami’s use of a moody blue-and-green color palette enhances the documentary's emotional impact, reflecting the internal struggles and growth of the young participants.
