TAKEN

Eagle Vision is proud to present Season V of TAKEN, a 13 X half-hour true crime documentary series, focusing on missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, men and boys, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community in Canada. Seasons I through IV shared 60 stories over 52 episodes, with a team led by Executive Producer and Co-Creator Lisa Meeches, OM, CM, Anishinaabe, and a member of Long Plain First Nation.

 

With the support of family members, community leaders, elders and knowledge keepers, law enforcement, politicians at all levels of government, academics, and more, TAKEN will continue to share these stories from coast to coast to coast in its fifth season. The goals are clear for all involved - to solve these cases, to raise awareness for the work being done to create safety and systemic change, and to honour those who have been lost and, hopefully, to bring them home.

 

TAKEN confronts head-on the search for answers, the clues that link these stories, and the hope that this epidemic of violence against Indigenous peoples will end. TAKEN focuses on the story of one, and occasionally two connected missing or murdered Indigenous women, girls, men, boys, and Two-Spirit people per episode.

 

Using gripping interviews with loved ones left behind, emotionally riveting reenactments, breathtaking cinematography that showcases the beauty and the darkness of our nation, as well as photos, video, and sometimes audio of the missing women themselves, TAKEN sheds light on these cases. Importantly, each episode tells the story of every individual's lives - the people and things they loved, the dreams they had, and the legacy they left behind. The storytelling is balanced and journalistic, while at its core, it is provocative human drama with a sense of mystery, and urgency.

 

TAKEN provides a call to action to share information in the hopes of sparking those who know the answers to the questions surrounding these crimes to come forward. There are people out there who know the truth.
