This week is 2019's Mankiller: Activist. Feminist. Cherokee Chief. 

She stands tall amongst the likes of Robert Kennedy, Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King, Jr. She humbly defied the odds and overcame insurmountable obstacles to fight injustice and gave a voice to the voiceless. And yet few people know her name.

MANKILLER is the story of an American legend, Wilma Mankiller, who overcame rampant sexism and personal challenges to emerge as the Cherokee Nation's first woman Principal Chief in 1985.

Official Selection at the Mill Valley Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

"MANKILLER is that rare documentary that is informative and moving, but will make you laugh, too." - Erika W. Smith, Bust
