Highway of Tears chronicles the notorious, decades-long string of murders and disappearances of young Indigenous women along British Columbia's Highway 16.

The film explores how this systemic violence is linked to the effects of generational poverty, residential schools, and high unemployment rates on First Nations reserves.
