Stolen

Stolen is Connie Walker’s investigative series about Indigenous families and the systems that misplace their dead and their children.

Seasons have followed a mother’s disappearance and the survivors of a residential school, among other cases. Walker reports as a Cree journalist with a personal stake she does not hide, and with documents.

The show is narrative true crime that keeps widening the frame from a single body to a policy. Listening only for the twist misses the point she is making about whose disappearance counts as urgent.

Each season is its own serial. Start at that season’s first chapter. Network promos sometimes lead the feed and are not the investigation.
