The Gordon Parks Museum, in partnership with photojournalist and documentary filmmaker D. Michael Cheers, recipient of the 2025 Choice of Weapons Award, proudly presents Fort Scott Stories, a feature documentary inspired by Gordon Parks.

This documentary offers a compelling look into the heartbeat, character, and vibrancy of today’s Fort Scott, a community rich in history, resilience, and cultural diversity.

Through the voices and lives of residents across generations, from youth to elders, business owners to church members Fort Scott Stories captures both the ordinary and the extraordinary in a series of authentic narratives that reflect the city’s enduring spirit.

Inspired by Gordon Parks’ unpublished LIFE magazine assignment in Fort Scott in 1950, this film continues his legacy of truth-telling through art, empathy, and vision.
