Abstract
Pacifier is a condensed version of a proposal for a three-part Limited docuseries. This series delves deeply into the involvement of religious institutions within Indigenous communities in Canada. The project serves as the starting point of a much-needed conversation regarding the repercussions of colonialism, including the continued cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples within Canada, specifically regarding the role of religion within these communities. From the doctrine of discovery to modern-day missionaries, the goal is the same: assimilation, monetary gain and the eradication of Indigenous culture. This infographic is a stand-alone piece; however, along with several other slides of content and specifics, it can be used as a future reference point and scouting tool for production, casting, and crew.
