A new documentary examines the prevalence of kidney disease among First Nations people, a condition often described as a silent killer. The film highlights the personal experience of Kelli Owen, who spent three years undergoing dialysis before receiving a kidney transplant.
Owen suggests that the duration of her treatment could have been reduced if the healthcare system had adopted different attitudes toward Aboriginal health. The documentary serves to spotlight these systemic challenges and the broader impact of the disease on Indigenous communities.
