Terry Talks: Michael Greyeyes Dishes on Hollywood & the Art of Make-Believe (Jan. 17)

Native Families vs. the Tropes of Disempowerment

Michael and his guest Kimberly Guerrero, who plays Terry’s powerhouse wife, Renee on “Rutherford Falls” discuss how the Thomas family is a radical provocation, given Hollywood’s history of portraying Native women and families.
