In Episode 2, Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson begin tracing the origins of the present crisis, in which Aboriginal women are being targeted for violence and disappearing. We begin with a story that connects the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) with the disappearing of Aboriginal women in our own country. Martin then looks back in the historical archive to understand how the history of gendered and racialised violence is repeated and reproduced throughout the generations.
