CAST: Ivyanna Mida Vann, Damien Marques Harris

​

#UNERASABLE17 is directed by Ryquan Ramirez, the mother of Ivyanna Mida Vann. 
 
Ivyanna was 17 years old when she was killed on February 3, 2026 by someone she trusted. Her death was initially ruled a suicide. Her mother knows it was not, and she has not stopped fighting to see the record corrected and her daughter's name spoken correctly. 
 
The film pairs Ivyanna's story with that of a short tease about Damien Marques Harris, 17 years old, shot and killed outside Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta on June 16, 2007, caught in the crossfire of a domestic violence situation while walking a co-worker safely to her bus stop. He was a new father. He had never been in a fight in his life. 
 
Both were Black. Both were 17. Both deserved more time. 
 
Working in collaboration with award winning AI generative artist Jai Harris of Free Royalty Studios, who created and produced the project, Ramirez builds a living archive out of original music, documentary storytelling, and AI generated imagery.
