Director:
Cast:
Against the backdrop of radical politics and seismic cultural upheaval in the late 1960s, a series of brutal murders targeting young women gripped the twin university towns of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. Home to the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, the communities descended into mounting anxiety as law enforcement appeared unable to stop the killer—or killers—responsible. Through interviews with law enforcement officials, political figures, and women who lived through the terror, this documentary examines not merely a series of crimes, but the social and political tensions that enabled them—many of which continue to resonate today.
