Never Get Busted!

Director David Anthony Ngo is scheduled to be in attendance. 

Once a decorated Texas narcotics officer who made his name busting marijuana dealers, Barry Cooper now runs a very different operation—teaching those same dealers how to avoid getting caught. Never Get Busted! is a wildly entertaining, stranger-than-fiction documentary that traces Cooper’s jaw-dropping transformation from drug warrior to anti-drug-war provocateur.

With humor, swagger, and no shortage of controversy, Cooper exposes police tactics, stages stunts to prove his point, and builds a following as a renegade folk hero. Equal parts absurd, provocative, and unexpectedly revealing, this fast-paced doc dives into America’s drug war through one of its most unlikely—and unforgettable—characters.
