Thunder Bay Documentary

The documentary Missing – The Documentary (2014) explores the systemic crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) in Canada, exposing how colonial history, government policies, and law enforcement negligence have contributed to this ongoing tragedy.

This virtual documentary from CBC Radio One’s The Current uses VR technology to tell the story of Ramona Wilson, an Indigenous girl missing since 1994. The documentary was directed Anishinaabe filmmaker Lisa Jackson, who says virtual reality technology is powerful because it means the viewer is implicated.

This documentary provides an Indigenous viewpoint on the harrowing search for missing loved ones, featuring Kyle Kematch and Katherena Vermette, survivors who, despite differing experiences, embody resilience, grace, and activism in response to their shared tragedy.
