About The Film

Amid the radical politics and cultural upheaval of the late 1960s, a series of brutal murders targeting young women terrorized the twin university towns of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. Frustrations mounted at the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, as local police seemed increasingly unable to stop the killer - or killers - responsible.

​

An independent documentary exploring the unique social atmosphere of the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area in a divisive time period that reflects many of the most important social issues of today.
