DEAD GIRLS

A lonely young woman becomes dangerously obsessed with Who Will Be Found? — a gamified TV show where viewers can place bets on which missing girls they think have the best chance of being found alive. When her mental health starts to decline, she contemplates faking her own disappearance and exploiting Missing White Woman Syndrome in a desperate attempt to finally receive real love and affection.

Dead Girls discusses the ways in which we take advantage missing white women in the media by turning their disappearances into entertainment while simultaneously ignoring the disappearances of BIPOC women. We hope this film will make you question the way you interact with female tragedy in media.
