Plot.

The story of a young boy forced to spend all five years of his short life in hospital while the federal and provincial governments argued over which was responsible for his care, as well as the long struggle of Indigenous activists to force the Canadian government to enforce “Jordan’s Principle” — the promise that no First Nations children would experience inequitable access to government-funded services again.

Wiki.

Jordan River Anderson, the Messenger is a 2019 Canadian documentary film directed by Alanis Obomsawin. The film profiles Jordan River Anderson, a young boy from the Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba whose permanent lifelong hospitalization with a rare genetic disorder caused a political fight between the provincial and federal governments over the cost of his medical care, resulting in the establishment of the new Jordan's Principle around equity of access to health and social services for First Nations children.

The film premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. At the 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival, the film won the award for Best Canadian Documentary. As of October 2021, 100% of the eight critical reviews compiled on Rotten Tomatoes are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10.
