Loretta Saunders: The Journey Without Her

Loretta Saunders goes to collect rent. Days later, her car and possessions turn up in Ontario without her. Mara and Julian follow the route back toward the Maritimes, the guilty pleas, and thirty-five pages found during a jail-cell search. They remember the Inuk student close to graduation, explore the questions she cared about, and explain what later temporary prison passes actually meant. Content note: Homicide, pregnancy, missing and murdered Indigenous women, grief and incarceration; non-graphic.
