The Canary Effect' screening 8:30pm Q&A and Discussion
The Canary Effect takes an in depth look at the devastating effect that US policies have had on the Indigenous people of America. Using beautifully crafted imagery it presents a chilling case to what many believe is an ongoing genocide of the American Indian. Featuring interviews with some of the leading scholars and exponents of Indigenous struggles, alongside revealing insight from those who work and live on reservations today, The Canary Effect creates a link between the past and present in a unique way never before explored on film. The film is important because it reminds us of the suffering, injustice, and oppression that Indigenous Peoples have been dealt by the colonialist-empire-state.
Show your solidarity and support for Leonard Peltier and all other First Nation Peoples in their continued struggle for vindication, liberty, justice and true sovereignty!
