"Bad Press: Freedom of the Press in Indian Country"

Documentary filmmakers Rebecca Landsberry-Baker and Joe Peeler, who co-directed the award-winning film “Bad Press,” will headline the University of Idaho’s annual Oppenheimer Ethics Symposium. A screening of the film will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the filmmakers and tribal journalist Angel Ellis. The documentary focuses on Ellis’ fight to restore guarantees of freedom of the press within her tribe after the Muscogee Nation’s government repealed its landmark Free Press Act in 2018.
