Bring Her Home tells the story of three Indigenous women fighting to vindicate and honor their missing and murdered relatives. TPT Inspires Action
Bring Her Home is a one-hour documentary that sheds light on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement and shares the powerful stories of three women — a politician, an artist, and an activist — each of whom is working to find healing and hope for themselves and for their community. TPT’s premiere event for Bring Her Home drew over 400 attendees from as far away as Alaska and Australia. After attending the virtual event: • 98% of survey respondents planned to learn more about the issue of MMIW. • 98% planned to share what they learned with others. • 93% felt inspired to act. Bring Her Home aired nationally in primetime on PBS, screened at 26 film festivals from Montana to New Zealand, and represented the United States at the international public television conference INPUT 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. The film also screened at the prestigious ImagineNative Film and Media Arts Festival in Toronto. To further the educational impact of Bring Her Home , TPT Learn collaborated with Native community leaders and educators to develop an educational content guide
I especially wanted young Native women to see the power in ourselves—to see how powerful we are when we unite and come together in community; strengthen our identities. Whether that is through art or language, your voice can be strong.” – LEYA HALE As reported by Tom Cherveny of the West Central Tribune for students grades 9-12. The guide has been uploaded to PBS LearningMedia, accessed by over 2 million educators, and is available on tpt.org as part of the community screening kit.
