Missing From Fire Trail Road
MCC Theater
Missing From Fire Trail Road, directed by Sabrina Van Tassel, documents the detailed case of Mary Ellen Johnson-Davis, a Native American woman who disappeared in Washington in 2020. Since the investigation is at a standstill, her sisters and other tribal members set off to discover what happened to her. Mary Ellen’s story exposes how hundreds of Indigenous women continue to go missing in the United States, perpetuating trans-generational traumas.
