Sahkanaga is a 2011 feature film written and directed by American filmmaker John Henry Summerour.
The film uses the true events of the Tri-State Crematory scandal as its setting and backdrop, though the central characters are fictional.
Summerour began working on the film script after learning that over 300 bodies had been dumped in the woods near the Tri-State Crematory instead of being incinerated by the operators.
[1] Sahkanaga follows the story of Paul (played by Trevor Neuhoff),[2] the son of the owner of a funeral home in rural Northwest Georgia.
Paul stumbles upon a decomposing corpse near the local crematory and uncovers a scandal that shakes the foundations of his small town.
