MERCY: Kali Reis at the Center of a Real-Time Reckoning with Justice and AI
Now in theaters, MERCY places audiences inside a justice system governed by artificial intelligence, and at the center of it is Native actress Kali Reis. In this real-time sci-fi thriller, Reis delivers a grounded, human performance as the boots-on-the-ground partner navigating a 90-minute race against an AI court. In conversation with Native Max, Reis shares what drew her to the role, how she rooted the character in mercy and lived experience, and why this story feels uncomfortably close to our present reality.
