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.
