His hard-line approach has earned Sheriff Joe Arpaio -- the lead law-enforcement officer in Arizona's sprawling Maricopa County -- lots of support among voters, as evidenced by his three consecutive landslide victories.

This hourlong documentary profiles the flinty lawman in a one-on-one interview.
