Multicultural TV Talk - Grace Dove, ABC's Alaska Daily
Manage episode 353870912 series 1474078
ABC's latest drama, Alaska Daily, stars Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, an award-winning journalist whose career suffers a nearly fatal blow. Desperate to keep her career alive, she relocates to Anchorage, Alaska, to help a local outlet with a number of unresolved cases related to Missing and Murdered Indigenious Women (MMIW), a very real issue among the indigenious community across North America.
Series star Grace Dove joins us on Multicultural TV Talk to talk about her role in the series as Rosalind "Roz" Friendly, a headstrong young journalist. "Roz" is assigned to open MMIW cold cases alongside Eileen, who has very different investigative tactics. As a result, the two women don't exactly see eye-to-eye. Grace talks about the importance of showcasing these storylines in mainstream media, how she relates to her character, and what it's like to work alongside one of her childhood heroes, actress Irene Bedard, who recurs on the series as Sylvia Nanmac, the mother of a recently deceased young Indigenous woman whose case is being reopened.
