Chronicle of Democracy and Journalistic Freedom
Directors Rebecca Landsberry-Baker and Joe Peeler chronicle the long fight for a free press on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation in Oklahoma.

Set on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation in Oklahoma, where Federal rules like the First Amendment are not applicable, the film follows a handful of passionate Native American journalists who engage into a fight with local authorities when they demand that freedom of the press be written into tribal law.
It started in 2018 when journalists at Mvskoke Media — “Mvskoke” is the phonetic spelling of the Muscogee tribe in its original language — a local paper and news service that had been reporting on tribal events for decades, learned that the 1979 “Free Press Act” guaranteeing their protection was going to be repealed.
Directors: Rebecca Landsberry-Baker, Joe Peeler
