“Bad Press” Documentary Screening

February 26 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Join us on Monday, February 26 at 9:30 a.m. for the documentary screening of “Bad Press,” which shows the story of indigenous journalists on an Oklahoma tribal reservation that pushed back against censorship and convinced their community to pass a constitutional amendment protecting the right of media to report the news unfettered and free – one of the few U.S. tribes to provide such protections. Following the screening, engage with the co-directors and star of the film, Angel Ellis, a reporter at Mvskoke Media who led the charge.

Reception Location: Reitz Union, room 2355, Level 2
