Stolen Sisters
A documentary shining a light on the MMIWG2S epidemic.
A documentary shining a light on the MMIWG2S epidemic.
A 2024 Clinton Global Initiative selection in partnership with Red-Horse Native Productions, Stolen Sisters examines the invisible epidemic known as MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People). In the United States, despite Indigenous women being 10 times more likely to be murdered or sexually assaulted, there is no standard protocol for reporting. We are partnering with Valerie Red-Horse Mohl (Cherokee) and producer Dawn Jackson (Saginaw Chippewa) who have a track record of working within tribal communities and telling indigenous stories sensitively and authentically. Every state has nuances that differentiate how each case of MMWIG is handled. Michigan and their twelve tribes, provides one example of how Indigenous leadership is coming together to establish sustainable solutions to address the approximately 1,000 unsolved cases in their state.
