Reel Journalism Screening All the President’s Men
We are pleased to invite you to the Reel Journalism Film Screening of All the President’s Men on Monday, March 16 at 7pm. The film series, a co-production of AU’s School of Communication and the Newseum, will take place in the Newseum’s 500-seat, state-of-the-art Walter and Leonore Annenberg Theater on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Due to the limited number of complimentary VIP tickets we have for this otherwise sold-out event, please RSVP to by return email by Friday, March 6.
The upcoming Reel Journalism film events will feature "The War Room" (May 18) with panelists George Stephanopoulos and Paul Begala; and "A Mighty Heart" (June 1) with panelists Mariane Pearl and Steve Stecklow. Tickets for the May and June film events are on sale now and may be purchased at http://www.newseum.org/events_edu/reel_journalism/
Join us on March 16th.
Now in its fifth year, Reel Journalism brings together Washington newsmakers with Hollywood producers, directors and actors to discuss the sometimes accurate and sometimes questionable depictions of journalists in films, and the larger role of journalism in a democratic society.
The March program will include a live panel discussion with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Woodward and Bernstein, portrayed in the film by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, will discuss their roles as investigative journalists in exposing government corruption at the highest level. All the President’s Men follows the intrepid Washington Post reporters as they investigate a trail of deception that leads to the Nixon White House, and ultimately to the resignation of an American President.
The Reel Journalism panel will be moderated by Distinguished Journalist-in-Residence and AUSOC faculty member, Nick Clooney. Nick is author of “The Movies That Changed Us: Reflections on the Screen,” and is teaching a course based on his book during the spring semester at American University.
We are pleased to extend to you this VIP invitation. However, we must hear back from you by Friday, March 6 to reserve a ticket in your name. You may pick up your VIP ticket at the Newseum’s admissions desk earlier on 3/16 to tour the exhibits. The coffee bar in the Newseum Food Section will be open until 6:30pm to purchase assorted sandwiches, salads, gelato, wine-beer-coffee-tea-sodas.
