The Slow Hustle

Directed by Sonja Sohn (HBO’s Baltimore Rising and The Wire), this feature documentary chronicles the still unsolved death of Baltimore police detective Sean Suiter, who was fatally shot in the head in 2017 while in the line of duty. Exploring the ongoing speculation about what really happened that day, the film examines the continuing mystery of the case and the multiple theories that emerged, including that Suiter’s death was a calculated hit or a suicide. Featuring candid interviews with members of the Baltimore P.D., Suiter’s widow and children, journalists committed to uncovering the truth, lawyers, and political leaders, The Slow Hustle ultimately reveals how the culture of corruption within the ranks of the Baltimore police force contributed to the destruction of the public’s trust and impacted the department’s ability to solve a shooting death of one of its own.
