Copperhead Road


Written, Directed and Edited by Ian Ogden


Based on a nationally publicized true story, COPPERHEAD ROAD is a deeply affecting, no-holds-barred depiction of a drunken woman’s nightmarish, post-New Year’s Eve Party run-in with a sociopathic cop. It depicts with raw honesty the actions of a Suffolk County law enforcement officer who, in a gross abuse of power, habitually forced women to undress or face arrest.
