Movie: Te Ata (2016)
Film Synopsis:
The extraordinary life of Citizen Nation Chickasaw Mary Thompson Fisher is given a heartfelt tribute in this moving look at a culture in transition, and the way one woman used her voice to keeping original traditions and stories alive. Raised in Indian Territory, Fisher left home to pursue her dream of becoming an actress, only to discover that her true calling was at home all along. From the Chautauquas to Broadway and even the White House, Fisher traveled the world performing Native American songs and stories for heads of state, American presidents, and European royalty. Featuring Chickasaw citizens both in front of and for the camera, this touching portrait starring Qorianka Kilcher (“The New World”) and Graham Greene honors a woman whose own story is the most inspiring she never told. -TCFF Database uploaded by: Freeman August 31, 2019 at 09:45
