Oliver Stone, Undie Run, Choral Arts!
We went to the Washington Film Institute's screening of Oliver Stone's The Untold History of the United States at the Goethe-Institut on Saturday.
We snapped Academy Award-winner Oliver Stone flanked by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kai Bird and documentary filmmaker Aviva Kempner, and by the film’s writer Peter Kuznick and WFI’s John Hanshaw. Stone was asked if he did another movie on a president, who it would be. His answer: LBJ because he was an interesting SOB.
The documentary looks at events that at the time were under reported, but that crucially shaped America’s complex history during the 20th century. Here, investigative journalist Gareth Porter and Museum of Hidden History's John Judge.
After the film, there was a Q&A with the film’s director and writer and a wine and cheese reception. Here, IMF's Robert Tchaidze and Felix Vardy.
