Elijah is a Canadian comedy-drama television film which was directed by Paul Unwin and broadcast by CTV in 2008. An account of the life and career of Elijah Harper, the provincial MLA in Manitoba whose stand on First Nations rights brought down the Meech Lake Accord in 1990, the film blends animated and scripted segments to present Harper's political journey as a Swift-style satire reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels.
