Filmmakers, creatives, artists, and other entertainment industry professionals have an opportunity to bring visibility to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) crisis. For too long, depictions of MMIP in television and film have shown high levels of violence that center the death of Indigenous people rather than the lives they lived before. This guide comes from countless reviews of MMIP content and includes guidance from leading Native creatives and subject matter experts on the best practices around MMIP storytelling. This guide includes a glossary with terminology and definitions, case studies, and additional resources.
