SHE CRIED THAT DAY

Directed by Amanda Erickson | 2025 | 92 min | USA

SHE CRIED THAT DAY exposes a crisis hiding in plain sight through the eyes of those on the front lines. Christine Means and her family have spent years questioning the circumstances surrounding her sister's death. In 2019, a renewed sense of hope for justice placed Christine at the centre of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives movement in New Mexico. 

As she becomes a voice for her sister, you’ll get an inside look into how this deadly crisis takes a toll on a family, a community, and a state. SHE CRIED THAT DAY is a story of love, spirit, and the unwavering power of Indigenous women who refuse to let their loved ones remain invisible in the eyes of the justice system.
