Overview

Former Victoria detective Narelle Fraser investigated some of Australia’s highest profile crimes. Her easy manner allowed her to gain rapport with many perpetrators, leading to their convictions… but it all came at a price. The constant daily exposure to horrific crime had a cumulative effect on Narelle’s mental health. She hid the effects for 27 years, but after suffering panic and amnesia, she received a diagnosis of PTSD, which forced her discharge from the Police. THE POLICEWOMAN illustrates the crimes that caused her descent into hell, and the battle to claw her way out. Narelle’s positive outcome in this true crime feature will demystify the stigma of mental health and speak to millions of first responders around the world.
