“Thunder Bay” is a four-part investigative series that aims to shed light on the history of racism in the city and how police inaction may have played a role in the deaths of Indigenous people over the years.
The series is billed as a deep look at the country's complicated relationship with colonialism, examining the consequences of the broken system in which some can thrivebut many others struggle to survive.
This project left McMahon with more questions than answers, so when Entertainment One expressed interested in developing a television series, he jumped on board. The team originally had plans to bring the project to various broadcasters and streamers but after meeting with Crave felt it was a good fit.
The first episode of the series focuses on the death of Barbara Kentner in 2017. Kentner, an Anishinaabe woman from Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation, died six months after Brayden Bushby, a non-Indigenous man from Thunder Bay, threw a trailer hitch at her from a moving car. The second episode focuses on some of the stories behind mysterious deaths of seven First Nations youth whose bodies were found in nearby waterways. Families criticized the police for failing to act on concerns or brushingthem off when they submitted missing-persons reports. An inquest concluded in 2016 and resulted in 145 recommendations.
An officer was recently found guilty of investigating the 2015 death of Stacey DeBungee with bias, andwas demoted and ordered to undergo cultural competency training.
