Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger

Alanis Obomsawin’s Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger chronicles the story of young Jordan River Anderson and his family’s fight against a system that denied equitable health care to First Nations children. Their struggle exposed systemic injustices and ultimately led to the creation of Jordan’s Principle, a policy guaranteeing that Indigenous children receive the health services they need, when they need them, highlighting the power of persistence and advocacy in effecting national change.
