Raising awareness of the ongoing MMIWG2S+ crisis while showcasing Indigenous talent, the two-day film festival includes feature length films, shorts, a range of guest speakers, as well as family-friendly content.

15 year old Tina Fontaine's body has washed ashore on the banks of the Red River in Winnipeg, Canada. Alarming numbers of aboriginal girls and young women have disappeared. Indigenous communities are dragging the river discovering more bodies. A 2013 RCMP study reported 1181 unresolved murdered or missing aboriginal women while some Indigenous accounts report more than 3000. Investigative reporter, Sheila North Wilson, wants to know why and how so many of these young women slip away, forgotten by the mainstream. 1200 + is a work in progress, sounding an alarm; an investigation and stark look int the life of MMIWs, 'Murder or Missing Indigenous Women.
