Filmmaker Brenda Fisher describes her relationship to Chief, reservations, and the documentary.

Based on the documentary of the same title, producer and director Brenda Fisher breaks down her relationship with a childhood friend, Chief, who is currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for murder. Thrown behind bars, one juror away from the death penalty at just 17 years old, Brenda is sharing his story and the struggles Native Americans face daily: "I [watched] my family drift away from our culture, due to the abuse family members had endured with racism and the forced boarding schools. This...has become something that will help so many more of our people than we had imagined when we started on this journey." Coming soon. Be sure to follow for more updates.
