Justine Garrett '2001 produced and wrote "Groundworks," a documentary that premiered on U.S. public television stations this month and is available on demand through the PBS Video App.

"Groundworks" introduces viewers to four diverse Native performers who come together in a collaborative performance on Alcatraz Island, on San Francisco’s first official Indigenous People’s Day. The collaborators bring to life the history of Indigenous people’s connection to the land, as well as the contemporary outcry for restoration of Native people’s rights and relationship to land. Through moving oral history and stunning traditional dance, the film documents how Native groups and traditions relate to each other geographically and culturally as they collaborate on land reclamation advocacy. The release of "Groundworks" coincided with Indigenous People’s Day on October 10 and Native American Heritage Month in November.

Garrett earned her B.A. in psychology.
