Фильм және анимация

The Highway of Tears is a 725-kilometre corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of many missing and murdered Indigenous women beginning in 1970.
Filmmaker Matthew Smiley investigates the impact of generational poverty, residential schools, systemic violence, and high unemployment on the murder rates around the First Nation reserves.

    I think the issue was the majority of women where judged to be from high risk life styles and written off as low class and expendable. This happens in white areas if you are not from a prominent family, the issue is one of classim and sexism. This documentary speaks of the high levels of domestic violence against women. The social mentality needs to be addressed.

    How incredibly sad and unjust! I am absolutely disgusted with how the system continues to fail ALL the victims and their families! There is no reason or excuse for all the injustice these woman have faced other than it's pure neglect on the systems part. Regardless of the lives these woman and girls were living doesn't make their lives less meaningful. The way their cases and families have been pushed aside is utterly heartbreaking to say the least. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every person affected by this. This needs to end.! There are simple solutions to some of these problems, such as ( public transportation)- how absurd to deny these communities such access is just meaningless. They argue they LOSE MONEY for sending buses etc to these communities and yet these families are losing LOVED ONES at an alarming rate!! I truly don't understand nor can I comprehend any of this blatant ,utter disrespect/ disregard for ALL these woman's lives. Where is the justice, Let alone just compassion for any of them?! I lost faith in ALL government, law enforcement, etc years ago. This here just confirmed why! Sending Love and Prayers to all of those families and friends of those 1000+ woman who were taken way too soon. I hope they get justice in one way or another 💔🫂

    I appreciate that…too much victim blaming out there! For some of the hitchhikers, it’s less a matter of lifestyle, and more about the lack of transportation. They really had to get into others’ cars, if they wanted to go anywhere. Either way, it doesn’t make it any less wrong.

    There was a case somewhere else (in the US, I think?) of an indigenous woman who accepted a ride from some guy. She started feeling uncomfortable and called her sister who recorded the whole conversation. She went missing after that and I don't think she was ever found. They released the audio of the call and some people came forward and said it sounds like the voice of a guy who runs a local ranch and is generally creepy towards young women. But nothing was ever done about it. It sickens me that people are treated as subhuman or irrelevant because they're indigenous. They're people too.

    Giving the judge seven years was a huge mistake because it shows the utter contempt of the justice system for the victims.

Who the heck is given the right to take that away from a family member if they so choose to see the body.... Now I understand wanting to shield someone from seeing their loved one that way, and it could possibly be traumatic but it should still be up to them, it should be THEIR CHOICE... how do you feel about that issue???

IMO it can take away from ones mourning process without having seen the body someone may not want to believe the truth or not be able to process what has happened to them.

    An unnerving collateral story that happened in this same area involved a man. He was in his truck that had a camper on the back. He had a habit of traveling this road, and when sleepy at night, would just pull over, crawl in the back on a mattress he had there, and sleep for a few hours. One night, he was about to doze off, when a man walked up out of nowhere and knocked on the camper, asking 'hey, buddy, you in there?' He was frightened and didn't answer. The man walked away...back to his car a hundred meters or so to the front of his truck, and while he did, the truck owner threw on his clothes, jumped out and jumped in the truck cab, as he started up the truck, the man who had walked up and two others jumped out of the car and ran at his truck...one had an axe. He said he had no doubt they were going to off-him right there...maybe they were after money, or his truck, or maybe just wanted the thrill...either way, he reported it to the RCMP, and by the time they made it back out there, of course, there was no car to be seen...they were gone. To my understanding, this happened in the late 1990's.

Now, for that treacherous, not well patrolled highway, I'd like to rename it to "Highway of Fears for any would be murders". Yes, to Buses. And, no, let's not whine about the cost, since this whole debacle of tragedy has now got a price tag of $100,000,000. (Ever heard of preventative medicine? "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".) How about Remote cameras, a couple drones, a few helicopters, if needed, and some undercover agents posing as young female hitchhikers for a sting operation?
