SYNOPSIS
The Doctrine of Discovery is the term for 15th century laws of conquest and colonization issued by the Vatican that became international and U.S. law. The film explores how The Doctrine codified racial inequity, impacted Indigenous communities globally, and enabled corporate forces driving climate change.
