Tracy Rector's (Choctaw/Seminole) films have been seen by
audiences at the Cannes Film Festival, ImagineNative, the Toronto
International Film Festival, and PBS. Her latest work, Dawnland, follows
Maine's Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the removal of
Native children from their homes. The other films she's worked on
include Teachings of the Tree People, March Point, and Ch'aak' S'aagi.
Rector describes herself as a mixed race urban Indian, filmmaker and
activist. We'll talk with her about her passion for filmmaking, social
justice and what is next for her career.
