Synopsis

In 2014 Lydia’s son, Colten Pratt, went missing off the streets of Winnipeg. In the weeks that followed, Lydia was met with adversity as she tried desperately to find her son. It seemed to her, that the plight of a lost Aboriginal man fell on deaf ears. Weeks turned to months, months turned to years. After the disappearance of her son, Lydia suddenly became all too aware of the desperate state of Aboriginal Men’s rights. But no matter what she did, no one seemed to care about her son. Colten has yet to be found.
