Te Ata (2017)
La vita straordinaria della cittadina di Chickasaw Nation Mary Thompson Fisher riceve un sincero tributo in questo sguardo commovente su una cultura in transizione e sul modo in cui una donna ha usato la sua voce per mantenere vive le tradizioni e le storie dei nativi. Cresciuta nel territorio indiano, Fisher ha lasciato la casa per perseguire il suo sogno di diventare un'attrice, solo per scoprire che la sua vera vocazione è sempre stata a casa. Da Chautauquas a Broadway e persino alla Casa Bianca, Fisher ha viaggiato per il mondo eseguendo canzoni e storie dei nativi americani per capi di stato, presidenti americani e reali europei. Con i cittadini di Chickasaw sia davanti che dietro la telecamera, questo toccante ritratto con Q'orianka Kilcher ("Il nuovo mondo") e Graham Greene rende omaggio a una donna la cui storia è stata la più stimolante che non abbia mai raccontato.
