In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Meeches and Denae Robinson, the producers behind the powerful true-crime documentary series TAKEN. Now in Season 5, TAKEN shares the stories of missing and murdered Indigenous people in Canada, including women and girls, men and boys, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, with one goal always at the center: honour their lives and help bring them home.We talk about what goes into telling these stories with care, how the team works alongside families, elders and knowledge keepers, community leaders, and law enforcement, and why TAKEN focuses on both the hard facts of a case and the human moments that remind us who these loved ones truly were. We also dig into the bigger questions TAKEN raises about safety, systemic change, and what all of us can do to help end the violence.
