SUMMARY:Jordan River Anderson\, The Messenger
DESCRIPTION:Alanis Obomsawin\n2019 | 66 min\n\n\n\nIn her latest film\, ce
 lebrated Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin tells the story of Jordan River
  Anderson\, and how as a result of his short life\, thousands of Indigenou
 s children today receive the same standard of social\, health and educati
 on services as the rest of the Canadian population.\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 recei
 ve the appropriate home-based assistance that would have allowed him to en
 d his life in his own community.\n\nJordan’s Principle was passed into l
 aw by the House of Commons\, and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued
  a ruling guaranteeing the same standard of service\, yet many Indigenous 
 children were still denied access. It took sustained commitment and the is
 suance of several mandatory orders for justice to be done.\n\nThe very tim
 ely Jordan River Anderson\, The Messenger completes\, on an optimistic n
 ote\, the film cycle devoted to the rights of Indigenous children and peop
 les that began with The People of the Kattawapiskak River.\n\nFilmmakers 
 Alanis Obomsawin and Courtney Montour will be in attendance.\n\n\n\n&nbsp\
