Northwest Film Forum, Seattle Film Society, and SeaDoc present TRUTH TO FICTION: a monthly series of documentaries highlighting stories from the Pacific Northwest and far beyond.

This month, join us for a screening of Baby Doe, directed by Jessica Earnshaw(United States, 2025, 92 min, in English).

Synopsis:
Thirty years ago, Gail Ritchey, a young woman from a conservative Christian community in rural Ohio, had a stillborn birth alone and left the evidence in the woods. Now a devoted mother of three, her quiet suburban life is shattered when DNA evidence links her to the infamous cold case of  “Geauga’s Child,” leading to her arrest for murder.

Facing a possible life sentence, Gail must confront the weight of societal and religious pressures—and her own long-buried shame—to fight for her freedom.
