“Highway of Tears” is journalistic approach to the ongoing struggle to bring awareness to an epidemic that has long haunted our Indigenous peoples. The pursuit of justice for Missing and Murdered Ingenious women and girls remains a nation-wide effort that can sometimes seem unsurmountable.

Author Jessica McDiarmid shares her experience with the tragedies through a lens of having grown up near The Highway Of Tears, a 719-kilometer stretch in British Columbia where injustice lines the road between Prince Rupert and Prince George.

The lack of public transportation between communities was a contributing factor leading to unsolved disappearances because the area is underdeveloped and remote.

McDiarmid explains to Kimberley LaFramboise how the project came underway.
