SHE CRIED THAT DAY
Synopsis:
On Saturday, April 28, 2015, Christine, a young Arikara, Dakota & Diné woman, received a call that her older sister, Dione, was fighting for her life in the ICU after being found bloody and unconscious in a motel room in Gallup, NM. The police had been called to the room that Dione was sharing with her boyfriend, three times that night over complaints of people fighting. Ultimately, Dione would succumb to her horrific injuries leaving the family questioning the suspicious nature of her death. An arrest was never made.
As Christine and her family navigate a broken system in search for justice, we are witness to the triumphs and the defeats. By examining her personal journey, the systemic racism, generational trauma, jurisdictional and structural nightmares become tangible. The personal IS political. The microcosm is the macrocosm.
She Cried That Day shows us first-hand, how this crisis affects a family, a community, a state, and a nation while being inspired by the strength and power of these incredible women as they fight to bring their lost sisters home.
