In 1972, a Native American activist, involved in the popular American Indian Movement, led a rally to the steps of the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC. 12 Hours later his wife and children were killed in a mysterious house fire. "Tushka" is a fictionalized drama based on these events of the 1970s, when the FBI waged its COINTELPRO campaign against civil rights efforts made by organizations such as the American Indian Movement and the Black Panthers. A raw, compelling story, "Tushka" tells of government corruption, Indian defiance, and the power of the human spirit. “Tushka” is part of the First Peoples' TV series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
