A RIPPLE IN ANN ARBOR
Originated and produced by Ann Arbor City Council Member Cynthia Harrison, the short documentary film A Ripple in Ann Arbor tells the story of the search for a serial criminal 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, weaving interviews with people who lived these events with primary source materials.
Directed by filmmaker Aliyah Mitchell in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library Archives, the film will be released on November 9, 2025 at 2 PM, in a truth and reconciliation event at the Michigan Theater.  
Following the showing of the film, a panel discussion of local civic and law enforcement leaders will discuss the events and offer a formal apology to those affected.
