With ‚Undercover Cop‘, Brian Hill, one of Britain’s most innovative documentary filmmakers, once again covers one of those topics that are painful far into the democratic soul of the people: the use of undercover police agents. Hill has been given full access to follow Mark Kennedy, the English policeman, who after 7 years as a spy in the British – and European – activist scene was exposed at the beginning of 2011. Part of the film follows Kennedy during the tough period after his exposal, but Hill doesn’t limit himself to the this traditional approach. Instead, the director sets the agent up in front of a green screen and lets him perform his own story, thereby reconstructing the key events during his work as an undercover cop. ‚Undercover Cop‘ is a highly topical documentary, which just like ‚Better This World‘ (see Amnesty Award) questions how far the state can go in its use of lies and deceit without losing the basic faith of its citizens.
