Brutal Loss and Survival
“Unseen, “ a film about the
serial killing of 11 African
American women in Cleve-
land, Ohio, makes its West
Coast premiere Friday, Sept.
2 at the Laurelhurst Theatre as
part of the Portland Film Fes-
tival.
In 2009, Cleveland police
discovered the bodies of 11
black women decomposing in
and around the home of known
sex offender Anthony Sow-
ell - yet reports of the missing
women went virtually ignored
by police.
With unprecedented ac-
cess to the surviving victims,
“Unseen” tells a chilling story
about the invisibility of wom-
en on the margins of society
and raises troubling questions
about why this killing spree
went unnoticed for so long.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
called it “a moving brutal tale
of loss and survival”.
Producer/Director
Laura
Paglin grew up in Portland and

has made a name for herself

alized communities to a world-
wide audience.

val and was acquired by HBO
