NEVER GET BUSTED!... A highly decorated Texas narcotics officer turns his back on the police force, busting crooked cops and teaching drug users how to hide their stash. Barry Cooper is an expert at hiding drugs, evading police, and raising hell! But once upon a time he was a highly decorated Texas Narcotics Officer. After a raid goes wrong, destroying a family not unlike his own, Barry's conscience gets the better of him and he quits the force. Using stolen police tapes, he creates a DVD series teaching drug users how to hide their stash and becomes an instant media sensation. This is the story of one man’s fight to turn the tide on the War on Drugs, if he doesn’t get busted in the process!

Lucas Anders interviews Teresa Alfeld (director) & Cassidy Waring (subject) about the documentary HEARSE CHASING. See it as part of CUFF.Docs on Saturday November 22nd at 12 pm at the Globe Cinema in Calgary.

HEARSE CHASING follows singer-songwriter Cassidy Waring as she returns to her hometown of Calgary, seeking answers about her family’s tragic breakdown. Cassidy Waring is a soulful singer-songwriter whose music carries warmth, wit, and raw honesty. Originally from Calgary and now based in East Vancouver, she has spent years using her art to understand the lasting impact of childhood trauma and, more recently, a diagnosis of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. When Cassidy was 12, her family life was shattered by alcohol addiction, abuse, and domestic violence, culminating in the sudden death of her mother. As an adult, she has struggled with panic, substance use, and emotional upheaval, experiences that her diagnosis has helped contextualize. In this impactful documentary, Cassidy returns to Calgary with her younger brother, Cooper, to confront their shared past. Through intimate conversations, home videos, and Cassidy’s deeply felt music, the film explores grief, memory, and the difficult, courageous work of healing.
