Battling PTSD, addiction, and corruption both on the streets and inside his own department, Galanis is forced into a brutal choice: do the right thing and lose everything… or cross the line and never come back.We get into the real story behind the film, the grind of independent filmmaking, and what it takes to build a raw, no-BS New York crime world that actually feels real.And because this is Baklava & Banter… we also go off-script—talking life, food, chaos, and probably things George didn’t expect to admit on camera.🎬 One Week For Life streams April 14, 2026🍿 If you like The Departed, Sopranos-style drama, or anything gritty and real—this one’s for you👉 Hit play, subscribe, and tell us: what would YOU do with one week left?
