I had a fantastic conversation with Jay. Safe to say, he's invited to any cookout, pow wow, potluck, etc. Jay is a real one, he stuck his neck out for a message that he knew needed to be told.

That message is Charlene Teters' story from her time as a graduate student at the University of Illinois, and her opposition of the school mascot, Chief Illiniwek.

Jay is a special individual that is truly an ally for Indian Country. Listen to this conversation and hear us chat about his career almost being jeopardized by this film, why this film is his crowning achievement in his career, and also why he wouldn't make this film today.
