Highway of Tears (film)

The film covers the Robert Pickton murders and examines the possible roles killers Bobby Jack Fowler and Cody Legebokoff played in the Highway of Tears.

The film ends with a note that then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper did not support an inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Canada.

[4] Matthew Smiley, an artist and filmmaker, conceived of the documentary after touring Prince George, which he felt had an ideal landscape to make a film.

He credited Barb Ward-Burkitt, the executive director of the Prince George Native Friendship Centre, with supporting the project and being among the first to share her story.

[5] Neil Godbout, writing for the Times Colonist, calls it "a beautiful and tragic film, showcasing strength and perseverance, as well as grief and loss".

Producer Carly Pope stated the film was meant to call for an end to ignorance of the murders.
