A film based on Harper’s life focusing in particular on the month of June 1990, when Harper blocked the Manitoba legislature from voting on the Meech Lake Accord, was directed by Paul Unwin and played in 2007 at the Vancouver International Film Festival.
He wanted to join with Elijah Harper in denying approval for the Accord in 1990, but declined so as not to detract from the issue of aboriginal rights (Harper is aboriginal, Evans is not).
The Meech Lake Accord was opposed by aboriginal leaders, who were able to block its ratification in the Manitoba legislature due to the objection of Elijah Harper, and the Newfoundland legislature rescinded its ratification in response to Premier Clyde Wells's belief that it undid the progress achieved in the 1982 constitutional amendments and would undermine the Charter of Rights.
