Episode Nineteen - Ivan and Ivy MacDonald

Documentary Filmmakers

Ivan and Ivy MacDonald are a brother and sister filmmaking team that spent most of their childhood on the Blackfeet reservation. Their first production, Blackfeet Boxing, aired on ESPN and won each of them an Emmy Award. Since then, they’ve produced Murder in Bighorn for Showtime, and Bring Them Home, a documentary about the return of the buffalo to the Blackfeet reservation, narrated by Lily Gladstone. But their biggest project, When They Were Here, a documentary about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women that they started in grad school, will be wrapping up within the next year, and they already have a contract to air this nationally on PBS.
