Indigenous women and girls are murdered at a rate ten times higher than any other ethnicity in the US according to the Department of Justice. Murder stands as the third leading cause of death for Indigenous women and more than 4 out of 5 Indigenous women have experienced violence according to a National Institute of Justice Report.
“Who She Is,” a new film about this underreported and ongoing issue will be screened tomorrow evening at Chautauqua Auditorium. KGNU’s Kathy Partridge interviewed Emily Zinn of the Museum of Boulder and co-director Jordan Dressler. Dressler says he wanted to explore the missing and murdered indigenous women epidemic because he was hearing story after story but no one was doing anything about it.
