Production wraps this weekend in Vancouver on the CTV original movie "The Squad". The two-hour drama follows a group of dedicated beat cops as they interact and videotape drug addicts while on patrol in Vancouver's legendary Downtown Eastside. Inspired by the award-winning documentary "Through A Blue Lens", the movie focuses on the frontline patrolmen who make the area their beat and the citizens their concern.

"The Squad" stars Bruce Greenwood (Thirteen Days, The Sweet Hereafter) and Brian Markinson (The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Sweet and Lowdown) as the movie's central characters, veteran Vancouver beat cops. Ian Tracey (Milgaard, Da Vinci's Inquest) and Terry Chen (Almost Famous, The Other Woman) co-star as two young cops who join their colleagues in their quest for change. Nancy Sivak (Little War, The Twilight Zone) and Gemini Award-winning actress Alisen Down (Mysterious Ways, Cold Squad) are cast as two of the drug-addicted prostitutes. Katherine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, Disturbing Behaviour) portrays Amber, a suburban runaway whose parents are trying to save her from a desperate fate.
