Show Notes

Filmmaker Larry Foley admits that the story of “Indians, Outlaws, Marshals and the Hangin’ Judge” has largely been a regional one — until now. Now, his film by that name has elevated the “real story of Fort Smith [to] be considered up there with Deadwood, Tombstone and Dodge City when telling tales of the Wild West.”

And it’s coming home be featured at the inaugural Fort Smith International Film Festival. Listen to Foley chat with Features Editor Becca Martin-Brown in this What’s Up! podcast.
