Stacey Dooley travels to Canada to expose the ongoing tragedy of hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, starting with the Highway of Tears, where nearly 40 lives have vanished. You’ll hear the heartbreaking story of a 14-year-old girl found mutilated on a remote road and learn how a lack of public transportation, racism, and underfunded police investigations leave Indigenous women vulnerable to violence. In Edmonton, Indigenous women forced into the sex trade by people they trusted share stories of abuse and loss, while volunteers track license plates to protect those at risk. The film also confronts Canada’s history of residential schools, where generations of Indigenous children were stripped of their culture and subjected to abuse, fuelling cycles of poverty and domestic violence. Follow a family still searching for justice after their daughter’s disappearance, and witness calls for change that demand Canada face its past and safeguard its Indigenous communities.
