No Lost Sisters

A young child with shoulder-length dark hair and glasses is sitting on the grass in front of a playground. Wearing a red T-shirt with a bear design, they smile softly. Trees and playground equipment dot the background, evoking the scenes often captured in heartfelt documentaries about indigenous communities.

No Lost Sisters is a short documentary film created in The Representation Project’s 2021 Youth Media Academy. Every day Indigenous mothers, daughters, sisters, and children go missing at an alarming rate. This short film imagines the fear and anguish of having a loved one kidnapped.
