SUMMARY:Jordan River Anderson\, The Messenger
DESCRIPTION:YUKON PREMERE AT AVAILABLE LIGHT FILM FESTIVAL 2020!\nSaturday\
 , February 1st at 3:00 PM\n\nFor more information:  https://yukonfilmsoci
 ety.com/alff/tickets\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAlanis Obomsawin\n2019 | 66 min\n\n\
 n\nIn her latest film\, celebrated Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin tells
  the story of Jordan River Anderson\, and how as a result of his short lif
 e\, thousands of Indigenous children today receive the same standard of s
 ocial\, health and education services as the rest of the Canadian populat
 ion.\n\nBecause of Jordan’s Indian status\, a dispute arose between the 
 governments of Canada and Manitoba over who was responsible for his care\,
  and Jordan did not receive the appropriate home-based assistance that wou
 ld have allowed him to end his life in his own community.\n\nJordan’s Pr
 inciple was passed into law by the House of Commons\, and the Canadian Hum
 an Rights Tribunal issued a ruling guaranteeing the same standard of servi
 ce\, yet many Indigenous children were still denied access. It took sustai
 ned commitment and the issuance of several mandatory orders for justice to
  be done.\n\nThe very timely Jordan River Anderson\, The Messenger compl
 etes\, on an optimistic note\, the film cycle devoted to the rights of Ind
 igenous children and peoples that began with The People of the Kattawapis
 kak River.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n&nbsp\;
