Boarding schools that had to destroy 'the Indian in the child', but in many cases irreparably damaged the child itself. Practices that took place well into the 1990s. Emy Koopman speaks to family members of a girl who disappeared along the Highway of Tears twenty-five years ago and she discovers that the disappearances are still not a thing of the past.

It's time to place cameras and phones along the places of disappearances. Let's get this done! It has gone on for far too long. This cannot continue.

The Highway of Tears...this is the first I've heard of this road and it's difficult to listen to these cold cases and missing girls, but I couldn't imagine living it. What a nightmare and then no answers. No closure. How does one live with a hole in your heart so void?! 🙏 These beautiful people deserve tireless efforts from the police. Thank you for such an interesting documentary.

My heart breaks for these families, especially these poor mothers.
-
A crime of opportunity. These men know where the law is and where it is not. They are confident that they will not be caught.
-
Why is this not on national news around the world appalling
-
24:44 why the hell would she leave an intoxicated child by themselves on the side of the road? Even if the child isn’t ours, it’s still our responsibility as adults to protect them.

I lived in Smithers 20 years ago. My son was born there. Peace and Love to my people there...and all of the families and women who have disappeared
-
I was totally unaware of how many First Nation women go missing. Thank You for bringing attention to this atrocity, my sympathies to the families & communities. I urge everyone to share this.

Cameras need to go up on the vulnerable roads. They seem to put them everywhere so why not there! Its shocking how you people have been treated and so little done to find answers to your missing and murdered girls, ✨

"I am not going to comment on an ongoing genocide". My heart is broken for these women.
-
Sadly,this goes on all over the world...Evil does not discriminate. 🙏🏿

I grew up at the end of the highway of tears and .... I remember when people went missing and the searches came up with nothing.

This breaks my heart for those parents. My daughter was almost trafficked. Her and a friend answered a newspaper ad for fun and travel took a bus paid for by that company. They traveled from Texas to Kentucky. When they got to the bus stop in Kentucky and picked up they were taken to a cheap motel and separated. Allowed one phone call to parents with a handler over their shoulder. I could tell something was wrong right away and called the police there. We had to get a private detective from our area to work with them. It's a long story but we finally got them back with help of police depts in both states and the pvt. Det, and lots of prayers. It can happen to anyone and anywhere, especially nowadays. Girls please be careful and be aware of your surroundings.

That Highway of Tears unfortunately appears to be a serial killer magnet. Scary for these women. Extremely sad.
-
The politicians are just alike everywhere....they make my skin crawl!

"It's like standing out in the bush at night, waiting for a grizzly to attack you."

As a white women living in canada this makes me sick to my stomach....

I’m only 5 minutes into this documentary and the mother speaking has such a safe, loving aura about her. So much so that it stood out enough for me to pause the video and make this comment. Bless her.. I hope she has some answers for her daughter soon.

“When you grow up a girl, your freedom is limited on all sides.” This is so true, I’ve had many scares in my life as many girls and women do. It’s sad and I think when you’re young you don’t think that the worst can happen to you. I’m a Mom to boys, now grown, and I always told them the danger of other people. Some parents don’t do that and they need to in order to help keep their children safe in this world. Teach children to always be aware. ⚛️
