Over a decade, seven First Nations high school students died mysteriously in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Journalist Tanya Talaga looks at why the police, the media and government have remained indifferent to the tragedy unfolding in this community.

Each student came from a family and community that loved them. In the wake of an inquest into their deaths, Talaga asks if anything has changed since the youths died.
