The Tulsa American Film Festival Offers the Oklahoma Premiere of a New Doc Profiling Wilma Mankiller

Aired on Friday, October 13th.

The 2017 Tulsa American Film Festival, or TAFF, showcasing indie features and shorts from across the United States -- with a focus on local, classic, student, Native American, and Okie-rooted films -- continues here in T-Town at several different venues. Tonight, the 13th, the TAFF will present the Oklahoma Premiere of a new documentary film about the life and work of Wilma Mankiller, who in 1985 was the first woman elected as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Our guests are Valerie Red-Horse Mohl, who is one of the creators of the film "Mankiller," and Ben Arredondo, who is the founder and executive director of the TAFF.
