Bad Press takes us to the front lines, documenting the battle for a free press in the Muscogee Nation with engrossing precision and intimacy. JacobOller's Sundance2023 review:
Is there anyone in this country looked down upon and misunderstood more than Indigenous people and journalists? It’s not a hypothetical—the answer is yes: Indigenous journalists.
The nuances of sovereign tribal governments create a perfect microcosm for this story. The structure and size of the Muscogee Nation lend its public affairs a local feel, where executives are relatively available for interview and legislators vote in cramped municipal back rooms. This contrasts with the national implications of its power, makingthe best of all worlds: An impossibly important political story that you can grasp with both hands.
Leading the way is Mvskoke Media reporter Angel Ellis. Ellis is as bombastic and brave a central figure as you could wish for, resolutely charming and a bastion of journalistic aspiration: A foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, citizen-serving machine of passion and integrity. She’s liable to describe an election as giving her a “democracy boner” or flip the camera a celebratory double bird when things go her way.
