Having recently moved "out West," I became aware of this disturbing phenomena and hoped this documentary would shed some light on why this was occurring. Unfortunately, after watching all 3 episodes, I'm no wiser than I was before - hence the average rating.
The documentary primarily focusses on several recent instances where very young indigenous women had suddenly disappeared and who are later discovered with no clear explanation given for their tragic deaths. The bulk of the discussion following these incidents is given to pure speculation from concerned family members and other interested parties over what might have happened with little factual information to support those theories.
This documentary does highlight a seemingly credible outlook suggesting that the various law enforcement agencies responsible for investigating these deaths do very little or may even be somewhat obstructive in trying to get answers, however, very little input is provided from any of those sources making this view seem a little one sided.
Frustratingly, obvious questions about the circumstances surrounding each case are never posed until the very end of the documentary when a journalist makes halfhearted attempt to find out who one of the girls was with on the night of her disappearance. Yet, even this attempt is ultimately unsuccessful leaving viewers with too many unanswered questions.
There's plenty of background information and justifiable finger pointing about the plight of native life on the reservations and the circumstances leading to the poor quality of life, but nothing that I believe most people aren't already aware of and nothing concrete that really explains why indigenous women are being targeted and by whom.
