The Doctrine of Discovery Viewing, Unity Church-Unitarian, Wednesday, October 11

October 4, 2023

Join Unity Church-Unitarian on Wednesday, October 11, 7:10 pm for a viewing and discussion of the powerful landmark documentary, The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code. Attend in person at Unity Church or online via Zoom. Learn more here: https://www.unityunitarian.org/indigenous-justice.html


The film tells the true story of how religious doctrine led to the destruction and dehumanization of the many First Nation peoples of Great Turtle Island (now North, Central, and South America). It is a story of history, spirituality, and resistance told from an Indigenous perspective.


Filmmaker and director Sheldon Wolfchild (Dakota) and Co-Producer Steven Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape) collaborated to bring this story to the screen and Wolfchild will be on hand following the showing to answer questions.


Antiracism Literacy Partners is offering the documentary as one of its resources this month for those who wish to engage in deeper conversation about this topic.
