Film documents Alaska Native families’ search for justice

A new documentary, “In the Wake of Justice Delayed,” follows two Alaska Native families seeking justice for murdered loved ones, according to the Alaskan Beacon. The film tracks the Miller family of Teller, whose daughter Mingnuna Bobbi Jean Miller was killed in Palmer in 2019, and the Lane family of Point Hope, whose mother Harriet Lane was murdered in 1985.

The film, directed by Mary Katzke and produced by Affinityfilms, Inc., explores grief, barriers within the justice system and the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people in Alaska. It premieres in Anchorage on Sept. 21 and in Homer on Sept. 27, with a nationwide PBS broadcast set for Nov. 1, according to the Alaskan Beacon.
