The Canary Effect marks the debut of filmmaking team, Robin Davey and Yellow Thunder Woman. Robin Davey was born and raised in southern England, he is a musician, producer and film maker. After crafting music videos for his own band, he quickly started making a name for himself as a director and has since made videos for Disney, Paramount and Interscope Records. After meeting Yellow Thunder Woman at a recording studio in minneapolis 5 years ago the pair quickly conceptualised The Canary Effect, a way to bring awareness and understanding to the often misunderstood story of the Indigenous people of America. Yellow Thunder Woman is an artist, singer and film maker who was raised on the Yankton Sioux and Rosebud Sioux reservations in South Dakota. Youngest of 13 Children, she is the daughter of one time American Treaty Council Member and AIM Activist Greg Zephier and direct decendant of the Great Chief Standing Bear.
The Executive producers for this project are Dave Stewart and John Shanks. Dave Stewart is a member of the Eurythmics. His work in films includes the critically aclaimed documentary Deep Blues as well as countless movie scores including the recent Golden Globe winning song for the movie Alfie. Recently he helped concieve and organise the Nelson Mandela 44664 campaign to bring global awareness to the AIDS epidemic happening in Africa. John Shanks won Producer of the year at the 2005 Grammy Awards and has worked with many of todays leading artists including Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi and Mellissa Etheridge. www.DaveStewart.com www.johnshanks.net
The Canary Effect takes an in depth look at the devastating effect that US policies have had on the Indigenous people of America. Using beautifully crafted imagery it presents a chilling case to what many believe is an ongoing genocide of the American Indian. Featuring interviews with some of the leading scholars and exponents of Indigenous struggles, alongside revealing insight from those who work and live on reservations today, The Canary Effect creates a link between the past and present in a unique way never before explored on film.
"If we as a nation are ever going to achieve that status of true greatness, then we must be courageous enough to deal with matters pertaining to race and racism, without seeking the artificial cloak of denial as some sort of safe haven."

Long after the individual has regretted his or her sin, or has been forced to live with how the system punishes for crimes not committed and wishes to go back to living a productive life, he must stay in prison wasting his precious years on this earth, or be forever deemed a 'Convict'.
Almost anything you take from a man can be given back except time.
He can never reclaim the time that was stolen from him.
He can never experience his children growing up for they are already grown.
He can never experience those precious moments with his wife or loved one for most likely she has moved on.
Of all the crimes that man commits or is innocent of that takes them to prison, in most cases the decision to keep them there is worse.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SUPPORT NATIVE AMERICAN INMATES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
