This documentary reveals how Oklahoma native Will Rogers emerges as one of the most powerful voices in the United States and charts his impact on American politics through archival film footage, photos and documents, and various interviews. In the 1930s the United States is mired in the Great Depression and teetering on the brink of a second world war. To help offset their collective anxiety, millions of Americans turn to a rope-twirling, plain-talking Cherokee cowboy for clarity, comfort and common sense. His plainspoken musings — such as, “A fool and his money are soon elected” — influence the political landscape then and still resonate today. Known as Oklahoma’s favorite son, Rogers is born to a prominent Cherokee Nation family in Indian Territory. He travels around the world three times, makes 71 movies, writes more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns, and becomes a world-famous figure. By the mid-1930s, Rogers is adored by the American people for his commentaries on the political scene of the day. Those who are interviewed to comment on Rogers’ powers of persuasion include Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, actor Mickey Rooney, Cherokee Chief Chad Smith, comedian Lewis Black, former Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh, and others. Bill Kurtis, former CBS news anchor, narrates. idahoptv.org 25
