This video is a recording of the truth and reconciliation event and the premiere of A Ripple in Ann Arbor, a short documentary film originated and produced by Ann Arbor City Council Member Cynthia Harrison, directed by filmmaker Aliyah Mitchell, in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library Archives. A Ripple in Ann Arbor tells the story of the search for a serial rapist in Ann Arbor in the 1990s, the unfocused and invasive tactics used by police to find the perpetrator, and the innocent man who took the city to court to expose these tactics and reclaim his dignity.
