Synopsis
Maternal Instinct
When a Texas state trooper pulled over a woman driving erratically on the highway in 2020, she claimed she had just given birth — but her story didn’t add up.
The Gits
The inception and ascent of Seattle-based post-punk band the Gits, whose rise to prominence was cut short by the shocking rape and murder of their fiery lead singer, Mia Zapata, in 1993. Featuring performance footage and reflective interviews with the remaining members of the Gits, O'Kane's labor of love celebrates Zapata's memory and the group's enduring legacy.
