The Story

RELENTLESS is a compelling film commissioned by the Scottish Police Federation to shed light on the everyday realities faced by Scotland’s police officers. The film delves into the relentless pressures and challenges of modern policing, from life-threatening situations to the emotional toll of comforting those in crisis.

Through powerful storytelling, RELENTLESS reveals the sacrifices officers make, the violence they face, and the misconceptions they combat. It portrays officers not just as enforcers of the law, but as compassionate members of the community, dedicated to helping others even at great personal cost.

This film is a call to action—to acknowledge the sacrifices of police officers, to support them fairly, and to foster greater understanding between the public and those who serve. Relentless is a tribute to their courage and commitment, reminding us all of the humanity behind the uniform.

Director’s Vision

“In Relentless, I wanted to create a film that feels as immediate and immersive as the real-life experiences of the people we follow. The continuous shot mirrors the relentless pace of the job—there’s no pause, no cutaways—just the raw reality of being in the moment. This film is a tribute to the sacrifices and humanity of those in uniform, who face situations most of us can barely imagine. It’s a story about the resilience of the human spirit, in both the victims and the heroes trying to save them.”
