Canada's Missing Women Tragedy (Missing Persons Documentary) | Real Stories

Acclaimed Métis filmmaker Christine Welsh brings us a compelling documentary that puts a human face on a national tragedy - the epidemic of missing or murdered Indigenous women in Canada. The film takes a journey into the heart of Indigenous women's experience, from Vancouver's skid row, down the Highway of Tears in northern BC, and on to Saskatoon, where the murders and disappearances of these women remain unsolved.

I cannot understand why they took Indiginous children away from their parents. Did not make any sense, did not do any good. Was barbaric.

One woman knows 50 missing women??? That's unfathomable and heartbreaking. How does the gov find this ignorable??? 😡😡😡

I live in Port Coquitlam and the farm is just around the corner from me. It’s so horrible and sad. These woman were not throw aways. They were human being that didn’t deserve this horrific tragedy. I also was living in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. I also struggled with addiction and lived a similar life as these women. It could’ve been me on this list. In 2009 I finally was able to pull myself out of the area and addiction trap. It still haunts me thinking about what could have been., RIP ladies, friends, and sisters. You’ll never be forgotten.🙏🪽🪽

What the uncouth incomers did to the indigenous people was on a par to what Hitler did to Jews but nobody says a word about the suffering of way too many indigenous .Shameless and to this day in way too many colonised lands people suffer..Shame on the authorities who are simply indifferent .This video shows and highlights apartheid .Terrible it is active in is era .

When this documentary was made in 2006 it mentions approximately 9 women missing along the Highway of Tears. Present day (2023), this number is now upwards of 40.

I just want to comment to tell everyone that the disappearance of Daleen Bosse was eventually solved. A bouncer from the nightclub she went to confessed to her murder in 2008 (two years after the documentary was filmed). They were also about to locate her body. Thanks to the continued fight for justice from her family and loved ones, Daleen is no longer missing but found. 💔

The film begins with the story of Dawn Crey: one of 60 women, a third of them Aboriginal, who have disappeared from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside over a 20-year period. Crey's remains were among those found on the property of British Columbia serial killer Robert Pickton.

America hears you! Keep putting the word out there! 🇺🇲😢

I almost don’t have words. What a beautifully heartbreaking tribute to these women, circled and embraced with hope for breaking cycles that would otherwise continue to decimate and harm families. There is so much good in this doc….well done!

[@justlivin404]

May these women rest in peace, not be forgotten and may justice be avenged. Bless their family and friends that they may heal. I am so sorry what happened to you, you dear souls.

The film begins with the story of Dawn Crey: one of 60 women, a third of them Aboriginal, who have disappeared from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside over a 20-year period. Crey's remains were among those found on the property of British Columbia serial killer Robert Pickton. However, not enough of Dawn's DNA was found to list her as one of the murder victims at the trial. The film introduces viewers to Dawn's sister and brother, and their involvement in the annual Women's Memorial March in Vancouver.

I send love and strength. This needs to stop. More concern is needed.

Thanks for sharing this documentary

[@paulkeenan2691]

David Palides- aka missing 411 has an extensive catalogue of missing Canadians/ Americans his research is curiously concerning

[@1978JonBullock]

I would say the Canadian people have got to talk about this problem and admit more needs to be done to help people who need it the most.

To Acclaimed Métis Filmmaker Christen Welsh this documentary was very memorable and moving to my heart ❤️ I have watched many programs about indigenous women and the Highway of Tears. I am very grateful for your work and help with these precious people. There needs to be so many more people who can help these Native American people all over this country and here in the United States. My prayers are with all of the families and friends who have lost their loved ones. In Jesus Mighty Name. Amen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
