The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code” is a feature-length documentary based on Steven T. Newcomb’s extensively researched book, Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery. Cristobal Colón (Columbus) and other colonizers laid claims to the lands of original nations and peoples on the basis of the idea that Christians had a biblical right to discover and dominate non-Christian lands. This doctrine of ancient Christendom, supported by papal edicts, continues to serve as the conceptual foundation of the political and legal system of the United States and of other dominating political systems throughout the world in relation to indigenous peoples and nations. This film vividly lays out the basis for the doctrine, its alarming application, and its ongoing impact today.
