The ambitious detective Alize leads the investigation into the killing of a young female rapper. She notices that her superiors do not take the enquiry seriously.
At first sight, the death of a young female artist seems to have been caused by an overdose. But Alize, a young and ambitious detective who has just become a mother, finds out that a much larger case underlies it. It appears there is a complex and tragic truth behind the rapper’s death. What is more, within her unit, she meets with discrimination. However, Alize’s investigation is not taken seriously, so she gradually comes into conflict with her superiors.
VPRO Gids ****
“Telefilm Good Bad Girl speelt knap met vooroordelen en stereotypes”
“Sterke telefilm die een treffende blik werpt op thema’s als de ongelijke behandeling van vrouwen en etnisch profileren.
De Groene Amsterdammer: “De toon van terecht en onterecht verdachten is overtuigend onaangenaam, vanwege al dan niet terecht wantrouwen tegen de politie, ook als die zelf ‘van kleur’ is.”
