Me, Hereafter

I started crying almost immediately when I started watching episode one of Me Hereafter - First, She Stole My Baby. I knew immediately that the ending was going to be heartbreaking. But the producers were able to bring a sense of hope after such pain. And that makes this an incredible series.

The premise of the series is one that was new to me. "Hearing from the dead" is something I've seen in a few movies, but never in a true crime series. That was incredibly powerful, But what made it even more powerful is how the producers were able to weave the testimony from those left behind. To hear them talk about the victim - someone who lived, who loved, who was as flawed as any one of us - was so impactful. It made the stories much more relatable by tying together the voices of those who were killed and those who were left behind.

These aren't easy stories to hear. But they are stories that need to be told. Stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and clerical abuse are often told with "kid gloves." The filmmakers for Me Hereafter told them with empathy and passion.

Watch this series. You won't be sorry.
