Co-hosts Western Native Voice and Northern Plains Resource Council are proud to present the Billings premiere of Murder in Big Horn, a new docuseries from Showtime about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic that indigenous communities have been battling since colonization.
Directors Razelle Benally and Matthew Galkin, along with producers Ivy and Ivan MacDonald, craft a powerful portrait of tribal members and their communities in Big Horn County, Montana, who have lost loved ones to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis. The three-part docuseries examines the circumstances surrounding many of these cases, told solely through the perspectives of those involved: Native families, Native journalists, and local law enforcement officers.
Murder in Big Horn addresses difficult topics and may be challenging for some people to watch. Due to the heavy nature of the content, explicit discussion of murder, trafficking, criminal investigations, and the inclusion of autopsy images, we recommend that children are accompanied by an adult. Trauma resources and mental health support will be available during the screening.
After screening the docuseries’ three episodes, this event will feature a question and answer session with Blackfeet filmmakers Ivy and Ivan MacDonald, who produced the docuseries, journalist and advocate Luella Brien, who is featured in the series, and members of some of the families who have lost loved ones and are featured in the series.
This screening is also sponsored by Four Points Press, MMIP Billings L.L.C., Unspoken Words Podcast, Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center, the Native American Development Corporation, the Yellowstone County Area Human Trafficking Task Force, Friends of the Children – Eastern Montana Chapter, the Snowbird Fund, and the Montana Community Foundation.
Murder in Big Horn premiered at Sundance in January.
