Description

This video presents a collage of images and text addressing the disproportionate media coverage of missing white women compared to the lack of attention given to missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The video opens with text stating, "When a white woman goes missing, they get wall-to-wall national media coverage". This is followed by visuals of news broadcasts, missing person posters, and magazine covers related to missing white women. Subsequent text highlights that despite a higher homicide rate, Indigenous women and girls rarely make the local news. The visuals then shift to black and white photos of Indigenous people holding signs and protesting. Some signs read "No More Stolen Sisters," "We Demand Justice," and "Aboriginal Women are Loved and Valued." Later, the video shows images of Indigenous women with red handprints painted on their faces, symbolizing solidarity and protest.
