Respected By Her People

As a result of the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic, Tribal communities fight against victimization with a call to action and self preservation.

This story focuses on the Nez Perce Tribe in Idaho and introduces the topic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. From there, it transitions to the response of the Tribal community posing the question; “how do you raise strong, confident girls in a world that doesn’t always respect their place in society?” Through the use of interviews and collected footage, the film strives to answer: where does empowerment of the Individual lie in culture and traditional customs?
