Angel Ellis is a reporter for Mvskoke Media in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. She was horrified by the repeal, so she and others got ready to fight. The new documentary "Bad Press" premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It chronicles the history of the media in the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the battle to enshrine freedom of the press into the tribal constitution. And get this: The vast majority of Native American tribes don’t actually have laws to protect press freedom. Join us this Friday at noon for a conversation with Angel Ellis and the directors of "Bad Press."
"Bad Press" will air at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival until Jan. 27. Information on how to attend a screening here.
