Finding Dawn

Acclaimed Métis filmmaker Christine Welsh presents a compelling documentary that puts a human face on a national tragedy: the murders and disappearances of an estimated 500 Aboriginal women in Canada over the past 30 years. This is a journey into the dark heart of Native women's experience in Canada. From Vancouver's Skid Row to the Highway of Tears in northern British Columbia, to Saskatoon, this film honours those who have passed and uncovers reasons for hope. Finding Dawn illustrates the deep historical, social and economic factors that contribute to the epidemic of violence against Native women in this country.

      «It saddens my heart to know that women have travelled this path....and nothing was done before, during or after....its like his actions were condoned...he got away with murder for years...had he been a native man and the victims been all white women...this would not have been the case...it is a racial thiing. Pure and simple. It is what it is and you are what you are.....change is slow.....live on purpose.»

      «Ernie Crey sums it up best when he says if this had happened to women in a "tonier" neighborhood, to white women, there would have been outrage and action long before so many more women went missing and killed by that monster. The fact that another one of our sisters was murdered on September 15 in the downtown eastside while the police look the other way shows us that nothing has changed....society is allowing this to happen and we have to take action ourselves to say Enough is Enough......»

      «We, as Native people are not saying SOMEONE else is responsible. We are saying that we need to be treated the same as a RIch White or Other Rich person in time of need. Native People are the very last People to want to ask for help, We, as Native People are Proud and by all mean self sufficent. As for other people poking at our "Beliefs" need to stand back and look at themselves and look at there beliefs because I'm sorry there is alot of scandalous religion and "Uppity" people out there. »

      «Once more someone else is responsible. Native people are not the only ones who are poor and who have to struggle in life. They are the only ones who want and expect to be 'special.' They want to live in some mythical past. No one forces people to take drugs or earn a living on the street. Get real. Join the human race.»
