Slate Race and Identity Represent | Actress Q’orianka Kilcher on Portraying a Native American Heroine
Aisha Harris chats with actress and activist Q’orianka Kilcher about starring in Te’Ata, a biographical film about the life of Te’Ata Fisher, a Chickasaw Nation citizen who helped tell the stories of Native Americans through her performances across the country throughout much of the 20th Century. Also, Represent’s social media assistant, Marissa Martinelli, and an entrepreneur and movie fan, Oni Hartstein, join us to discuss a trope that has popped up in multiple movies this year-- a blind characters who suddenly regains their sight.
