FINDING DAWN puts a human face on a tragedy that has received precious little attention. Dawn Crey, Ramona Wilson and Daleen Kay Bosse are just three of the estimated 500 Aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered in Canada over the past 30 years. Acclaimed Metis filmmaker Christine Welsh embarks on an epic journal to shed light on these murders and disappearances that remain unresolved to this day.
2006, Winner, Amnesty International Film Festival, Gold Audience Award
Spare and visually arresting, with a haunting soundtrack, SNARE is a performance-based piece that captures the brutality of violence against aboriginal women, as well as the possibility of healing and grace.
Nominated, Best Experimental Film, Yorkton Golden Sheaf Awards
