DESCRIPTION:
(from Onyx Collective's press release, August 2022) The true crime docu-series "Ring of Fire: The Life of Annie Mae Aquash" (working title), directed by Yvonne Russo, examines the extraordinary life and unravels the decades-old mystery behind the murder of Annie Mae Aquash. A Mi'kmaq woman from Nova Scotia, Canada, Annie Mae is a mother, a teacher and a revolutionary who fought for Indigenous rights and whose death went unsolved for almost 30 years, becoming one of Indian Country's most infamous cases. Set between the sweeping landscape of American politics in the volatile 1970s and the present‐day quest for answers led by Annie Mae's daughter, this is a shocking story of murder, intrigue, love and betrayal that contextualizes Annie Mae's case within the current day epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. "Ring of Fire: The Life of Annie Mae Aquash" (working title) is executive produced by Amy Kaufman, Caroline Waterlow, Yvonne Russo, Ezra Edelman and Riva Marker. The docu-series is produced by Laylow Pictures in association with Nine Stories Productions.
