Summer Film Series: The Canary Effect

The ELPC Mission Board and Mission Committees invite you to our annual Summer Film Festival on Sundays in July! This year’s documentaries and movies are a continuation of our on-going systemic racism series. Join us in the Social Hall following worship to view the movies, discuss the themes, and enjoy lunch together.

This week’s feature, The Canary Effect, is a 2006 documentary that looks into the effects that the U.S. and its policies have on the Indigenous peoples (Native Americans). Delving deeply into the historic realities of the American Indian, this film details the genocidal practices of our government and its effects on present-day Indian country. Featuring interviews with the leading scholars and experts on Indian issues, the film brings together the past and present in a way never before captured so eloquently and boldly on film.
