When outsiders offer to amplify indigenous struggles

The documentary filmmaker wants to tell our story about the missing women but she is not indigenous and I cannot decide if this will help bring attention or just exploit our pain for her career.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Desire for justice and visibility conflicts with wariness about who benefits when outsiders tell indigenous stories.
