Sativa’s haunting documentary-tribute to a woman who was murdered in her home town of Winslow, Arizona. “…anyone connected with a murder, however slight that connection may be, was polluted by the knowledge and should seek retribution.”

The Slow Escape
Appears on The M.I.A. Chainletter (1999)
The events surrounding this film have been on my mind for years. Last year I read about the ancient Greek concept of “miasma,” that anyone connected with a murder was somehow polluted by the knowledge and should seek retribution. I immediately thought of my situation and knew that I needed to take another crack at it, and that this time it needed to be a film.
