Our Past Films
The first of four films is a raw documentary about an educational event CFT presented at the historic site of a Shawnee town. The following three films were produced prior to CFT becoming an American Indian performing Arts organization. Each of these films are vignettes that honor exceptional African Americans who personified the struggle for freedom and equality.
