Anticipation for Sundance’s new drama The Red Road is high. The drama featured Lisa Bonet as a lawyer returning to her hometown to investigate a terrible tragedy committed against a member of her Native American tribe. Law & Order veteran Tamara Tunie (pictured) plays Marie Van Der Veen, a leader in the local Lenape tribe and sister to the chief who must deal with the recent return of her son Phillip Kopus, a dangerous member of the tribe.

The Red Road is slated for an early 2014 premiere.
