Directed by Michael Del Monte, Village of the Missing will explore how McArthur chose his victims of South Asian and Middle Eastern descent over a nefarious seven-year period between 2010 to 2017. Six of his eight victims were from these vulnerable groups, and many were recent immigrants and closeted gay men. A ninth victim, also of Middle Eastern descent, was saved by police on the day of McArthur's arrest. The documentary follows two stories of men in the Gay Village on the front-lines and exclusive interviews with journalists reporting on the McArthur case. The documentary looks to offer perspective on McArthur's victims and why so many men from these cultural backgrounds were targeted by this serial killer. Additionally, Village of the Missing uses this case to reveal the immense and unspoken pressures that many gay men from South Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds must endure.
