Canada’s Red River Murders

Assignment

Available for over a year

More women and girls from Canada's Aboriginal population go missing or are murdered than any other section of society. Joanna Jolly reports from the banks of the Red River which runs through the city of Winnipeg, where a number of bodies have been found. She asks why are Aboriginal women so vulnerable and who is killing them? (Photo: Tributes to Tina Fontaine, the Aboriginal schoolgirl murdered in Winnipeg last August. BBC copyright)
