Cody Eyre's family at the location where he was fatally shot on Christmas Eve 2017. (Courtesy Eyre family) A documentary film is being made about an Alaska Native man who was fatally shot in Fairbanks by law enforcement officers in December 2017. Family members of Cody Eyre say they're developing the documentary to share who he was and what happened to him, but also to effect change in how calls for mental health issues are responded to. Eyre's sister Samantha Harrison received funding from the Sundance Film Festival and Time Entertainment to create the film.
