Dark Blue is a movie about the psychological hazards police face and the potential impact of those hazards, and was produced for the Police Federation of Australia. 

The movie chronicles a policeman's career and the gradual development of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. It is a harrowing tale that highlights the psychological hazards that police encounter in the course of their work and some of the ways in which the effects of those hazards can be minimised.
