The Ice Sings Back

When a young girl goes missing in the remote wilderness of the western Oregon Cascades, her disappearance  sets off a chain of events that reveal a long history of violence, abuse of power, and environmental precarity. This is a story of how four women make sense of the everyday extraordinary traumas that contour their  lives, and how their individual strengths come together to sing a fierce hymn of survival.
