About this episode

Chicago indie filmmaker Allen Ross made seven films with German filmmaker Christian Bauer. Then he vanished without a trace. Four years after his disappearance, angered by the apathy of the police, Bauer returns to America to find out what happened to his friend. His investigations take him on an increasingly disturbing trail from Chicago’s art scene to satanic sects in Waco and Oklahoma City. Also screening is 16mm film by Allen Ross, The Grandfather Trilogy. Comprised of the 
three short films: Papa, Thanksgiving, 1979, and Burials, it is a moving and 
deeply personal portrait of the filmmaker’s grandfather.
