The Force was a series of three observational documentary programmes created for Channel 4 by Oxford Film and Television and Patrick Forbes, following the work of Hampshire Constabulary. The first episode follows a murder investigation after a burnt body is found, the second follows the work of a dedicated rape unit, while the third follows a case of arson/murder, nine months after the incident. The series, which was first run in 2009, was well received by critics, who said the documentary was more interesting than they had anticipated.
This gripping true-crime series explores cases of innocent people murdered in their own homes by someone they thought they could trust and, in some cases, had known for many years.
At the center of the plot are Assi (Zahavi) and Nivi (Yuval Sharaf), divorced parents of a girl with a rare form of epilepsy (Emmanuel Pepper, the real daughter of Uri Viyal). No medicine can control this epilepsy except for special cannabis oil, which she receives as part of a clinical study and prevents her from brain damage (in the role of researcher: Alma Dishi). A frightening event in the premiere episode leads to the termination of the research, and the cannabis strain in question is confiscated and sent to be destroyed in a truck. This truck, and what is waiting for it, are the key to the continuation of the affair.
