No matter how many times discussed, the topic of consent never ceases to be an urgent and indispensable conversation, especially in a time where people are increasingly becoming desensitized to the basic human feeling of empathy. In such a social environment, a documentary like Code of Misconduct compels people to ask a simple question: Is this the world we really want to live in? Is this what we pass on to the future generations? The answers to these questions are for the audience to find; the documentary is just a tool to put forth this harrowing but important subject matter in the spotlight.

And to bring it to more and more attention, the director, Sébastien Trahan, has teased some important updates about its US digital release.

In a recent interview with Netflix Junkie, Sébastien Trahan, the director of Code of Conduct, talked a great deal about various aspects of the documentary. One of them was the growing popularity of the docufilm globally, and its growing demand, especially in the United States. Responding to which, the filmmaker gave a major streaming update on the documentary.

“We are aware of the demand and we see it and we’re really touched by it. I think it’s talk about the importance of the movie,” he said acknowledging the situation.

“We’re looking forward to announce something and I’m going to tell my team if something is concluded sooner than later to contact them,” said the director about his plans for a digital release in the US.

He further said that he feels extremely fortunate to have an excellent distributor in Canada called Cineflix. It is among Canada's largest distributors. They have a few plans and are working on them. He informed us that he and his team plan to put the documentary out soon, and that the response and distribution are just remarkable.

However, for the time being, they really want the expectation around the docufilm to grow. He has a few ideas about the release in the bag and would like to finalize something “sooner than later.” Therefore, without letting the world know the exact details of a possible digital US release, the director has built massive hype around the documentary.

The documentary seems to be on its way, and in the meantime, it is imperative to discuss the incident it explores.

Five junior ice hockey players were charged in the 2018 Hockey Canada s***** assault incident, which is explored in the Canadian documentary Code of Misconduct. The film examines the toxic culture of Canadian hockey, which is just a representation of the poison that exists in the world, and the structural forces that support a culture that is detrimental to many of its players.

It looks at the psychological undercurrents that influence conduct from the very beginning of youth hockey, as well as the herd mentality among young male athletes. The documentary makes the case that the majority of people who observe wrongdoing but remain silent often cause more harm than the worst criminals. With the director, Sébastien Trahan, himself teasing the US streaming release, the documentary is supposed to hit American streaming platforms soon.
