3-03 Rescue (3-03 Rescate)
3-03 Rescue (Spanish: 3-03 Rescate) is a 2019 Ecuadorian action-drama film, produced by active-duty police officers. Directed by Cuban Dwight Gregorich and with a script by Julio Román, it was filmed on locations of Ecuador in Quito, El Coca, and Baeza and shows impressive settings, such as the Laguna de Taracoa in El Coca.
Débora López is a police officer with an unwavering faith in her calling. For her, protecting and serving is more than just a motto. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a routine call ends in tragedy. From this moment on, she dedicates herself to combating domestic violence and healing the families it affects, but struggles against apathy, corruption, and the realities of other ongoing crimes around the country most of the nation's law enforcement devotes its resources to.
The film is based on the real project of the same name created by retired police lieutenant Byron Liger. In addition, the uniforms and vehicles were provided by the Ecuador National Police, who assisted with filming.
