Native American filmmaker Blake Pickens (Chickasaw) has joined the documentary film “Reservation Redemption” from first-time director Brenda Fisher (Yakama).
Fisher and Pickens, who produced “Wild Indian,” will co-direct and co-produce the project. Brice Fisher (Siletz), son of Brenda Fisher, is associate producer.
“Reservation Redemption” offers a unique and personal lens into the most incarcerated race in the state of Washington: Native Americans. The logline reads: The film explores the transformation of “Chief” Marchand Rice (Colville) from a teenager guilty of murder sentenced to life in prison without parole, to a respected leader throughout Washington State prisons. As a teen in prison, Chief met Francis Cullooyah, a Kalispel spiritual leader, who asked him point-blank: “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” The film follows his journey from this pivotal moment to his “Red Road” to redemption, uncovering his deep commitment to culture and spiritual healing which now inspires countless others.

There is discrepancy between the two parties as to whether all agents left of their own accord.
The departing reps comprise Jemme Harper, Brenda Fisher, Chris Cope, Sasha Vassell, Nicole MacNaughton, Andrew Leon, and Eric Ziech. At least three are...
