This feature length investigative documentary, about the aftermath of the Kamloops mass grave deception, was produced by Simon Hergott and Frances Widdowson. The backdrop is the March 30 talk that Frances Widdowson gave in Powell River about "Uncovering the Grave Error at Kamloops and its Relationship to the [Powell River] Name Change and UNDRIP". Hergott and Widdowson use the issues raised in the talk to explore a number of aspects of the deception: claims about "missing children", a lack of journalistic objectivity, and the misleading use of Ground Penetrating Radar.
