On Thursday, April 9, from 1 to 3 p.m., the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) and the Oklahoma Historical Society will partner to host the FREE premiere screening and panel discussion of the OETA Back in Time series episode “Geronimo.” The public is invited to this exclusive premiere screening and panel discussion at the Oklahoma History Center.

This episode focuses on Geronimo (Chiricahua Apache), one of the most complex and legendary figures of the American West. To some, he was a renegade. To others, a hero. To his own people, he was a protector fighting for survival. As the American West changed and borders were drawn in ink and blood, Geronimo became a symbol of resistance and resilience. He was the last warrior to surrender and spent his final years as a prisoner of war in Oklahoma.

Following the screening, join us for a panel discussion with historians and filmmakers, offering deeper insight into the story and its connections to Oklahoma history.

This event is a unique opportunity to experience the film before its broadcast premiere and engage in meaningful conversation about the history that shaped our state.

Back in Time is OETA’s award-winning documentary series exploring the people, places, and events that shaped Oklahoma history.

The discussion will be held in the Chesapeake Event Center and Gallery.
