Blue Code of Silence tells the story of Bob Leuci, the crooked cop who never got arrested but instead brought down the most corrupt police unit in American history. Decades after he is still hated and deemed a “rat” for what he did. Others praise him as a whistleblower. Past and present testimonies, unseen archive, and a killer 1970’s soundtrack will bring this story of betrayal to life.
