Mama Weed (2020) on Netflix

Plot summary

Patience Portefeux works as an Arabic-French translator for the narcotics unit of a French police precinct. Her task is phone surveillance: she renders intercepted conversations into French for the officers, and the pay is small for the hours she puts in. One case involves a dealer whose mother she knows, and rather than let the unit close in, she covers for him. That choice pulls her into the trafficking she has only ever listened in on, using what she knows about police work for her own ends, and the name Mama Weed follows.
