In 2017/18 Cam Barry was in his 3rd year as a Film and Media major at Queen’s University. In January 2018, Cam was tasked with a project to create a short documentary on something he was interested and passionate about. Cam chose to tell the story on the use of social media by Kingston Police.

When asked about his subject matter Cam stated, “I chose Kingston Police because I've followed their social media accounts since I moved to Kingston a few years ago. These officers and their social media use was an obvious choice for an interesting documentary because everyone has a connection to the amazing things they're doing on multiple platforms. They go above and beyond their call of duty with every post they make and with all the negativity surrounding Police in general in the last few years, its time someone told a story about the amazing things Police can do.”

The filming began in March 2018 and we are pleased to say that Cam earned an “A” for his hard work. Watch the documentary The Thin Blue Online
