The life of Chickasaw Nation citizen Mary Thompson Fisher is given a heart felt tribute and the way a single woman used her voice to maintain stories and customs living. Fisher left home to pursue her dream of becoming a celebrity, just to find that her true calling was at home all along. By Chautauquas to Broadway and the White House, the world traveled performing stories and Native American songs to get heads of European royalty presidents, and state. Presenting Chickasaw citizens both in front of and be-hind the camera, that touching portrait starring Q'orianka Kilcher ("The New World") and Graham Greene honors a woman whose own narrative was the very inspiring one she told. -TCFF database
