Every second Monday evening of each month, Vision Maker Media and The Ross Media Arts Center present free in-person public screenings that feature Native American films by and about Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The Native American Film Series showcases stories about cultural heritage, art, history, music, civic leadership, youth, and more. Q&A sessions enhance each screening.

In the Wake of Justice Delayed

The American justice system promises a timely resolution for crimes but is failing our Alaska Native families who wait years, and even decades for resolution within our system. Consequently, this leads to general distrust, lower reporting and higher recidivism by perpetrators who are unpunished or rehabilitated and left to run free in the communities where their crimes were committed. This film looks deep within families fighting for justice after a loved one is murdered, with particular attention to systemic historical roots and perpetuation of generational trauma as context and basis for understanding the current epidemic of violence.
