“I saw the fire and I walked right in it – and that transformed me.” Netflix has revealed an official trailer for the documentary film titled Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter, from acclaimed doc director Ryan White (of The Case Against 8, Serena, Ask Dr. Ruth, Assassins, Good Night Oppy, Pamela: A Love Story). This is set for a streaming debut on September 12th this fall. A mother finds herself drawn into a labyrinth of unanswered questions when she discovers that the daughter she gave up for adoption many years ago has disappeared. “We want people to see people like Cathy and realize that when you take action and fight for what you believe is right, the truth can and will come out, and more often than not there’s people that will want to help bring that truth to light.” The film is produced by Jessica Hargrave, Matt Maher, and Charlize Theron – stating: “Cathy was resilient and followed her intuition all the way to the end to get answers about her daughter… We so often are taught to trust our gut, but rarely see it in action.” What an emotional story.
Trailer (+ poster) for Ryan White’s doc Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter, from Netflix’s YouTube:
In April 2010, Cathy Terkanian received a letter that would change her life forever. It was written by a social worker, who explained that the daughter Terkanian had given up for adoption 35 years prior had disappeared from her adoptive home in 1989. Driven by a need for answers, Terkanian enlisted the help of an amateur sleuth and local authorities and embarked on a 10-year quest to uncover what happened to her child. This documentary chronicles that quest, diving into the shadowy depths of a chilling true-crime story that feels almost impossible to believe at all. At the center of this labyrinthine tale, however, is the unbreakable bond between mother and child — and the power of maternal instinct across space and time. Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter is directed by award-winning doc filmmaker Ryan White, director of the other docs Pelada, Good Ol’ Freda, The Case Against 8, Serena, Ask Dr. Ruth, Assassins, Good Night Oppy, and Pamela Anderson in Pamela: A Love Story previously, plus a few other TV projects as well. Produced by Jessica Hargrave, Ryan White, Charlize Theron, and Matt Maher. Netflix will debut White’s doc Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter starting on September 12th, 2024 coming soon.
