Class 57 excels in these quiet moments, but it elides the stickier contradictions that drive its drama, favoring instead a bleary humanism. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Judy M @RT32554897 11/02/2023 This documentary had me floored. There is so much about the Navajo Reservation that I didn't know. It was a hard watch at times but I walked away from it with a greater understanding and love for the people who live on this land. You have to watch it. I'll give you all the feels.

See more Bryan W @RT72014107 10/20/2023 Excellent documentary that takes you inside the Navajo Nation police academy. The recruits go threw alot at the academy and at home. Worth a watch for sure. I look forward to another season. See more Read all reviews
