Lily Gladstone Passionately Explains How Indigenous Identity Adds Layers To Under The Bridge

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hulu released the first 2 episodes of true crime miniseries Under the Bridge on April 17, following the life and death of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old teenager who went missing after going to a party with friends and was found murdered. Lily Gladstone and Riley Keogh star as Cam and Rebecca, respectively a police officer investigating the case and the real-life author of the book the show is based on.

Riley Keough Takes The Role Of Under The Bridge's Real-Life Author Seriously Though Godfrey tragically passed away shortly after Keough and Gladstone were cast, her fingerprints are still all over the series. Not only is her book the basis for Shephard and Mehta's scripts , but her personal effects and stories shared in conversation with the showrunners were incorporated as well.

Sadly, I didn't get to meet her because she passed away right after I was cast. But she knew I was cast, and she knew Lily was cast, and I think that we were her choices, which is really special to know. Lily Gladstone: Yeah. I really immediately when I saw that it was an indigenous cop. There were a lot of indigenous cops on TV, especially women. In some ways, I feel like that's the bulk of our representation. So, I was really happy that in this, I also saw the element of her being an adoptee.

How Lily Gladstone's Role As An Indigenous Top Ties Into Under The Bridge Gladstone is absolutely right that the injustices visited upon the Indigenous people of Canada are reflected in Reena Virk's tragedy. Though the young girl was of South Asian descent, her race still played a major role in both her callous treatment at the hands of her classmates and in the at-times callous dismissal of her suffering by authorities.
