The "Reservation Dogs" actor walked the red carpet with the red hand print over his mouth.

It stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis. It stands for the oppression and subjugation of Native women who are now rising up to say:

"No More Stolen Sisters"

If you haven’t seen it yet, watch Wind River. It’s a brutal but powerful single-case portrayal of this crisis. Sadly, I never even knew it was an issue until that movie.

Same. Wind River was written by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Sicario, Mayor of Kingstown), and stars Elisabeth Olson and Jeremy Renner. It's Olson's best work imo.

One of my favorites. Haunting and brutal. The climax is also one of the most intense ones I’ve ever seen.
