About this event

The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties invites you to see the film "Good Night and Good Luck" free in-person.

The film stars David Strathairn, Patricia Clarkson, George Clooney, Jeff Daniels, Robert Downey Jr. and Frank Langella.

It's 1953, and the piece of talking furniture called TV is still a novelty in America's living rooms. On it, Senator Joseph McCarthy uses fear, falsehoods and belligerence to become arguably the most powerful man in the land. On it, newsman Edward R. Murrow, who's had his fill of the senator's tactics, fights back. That pivital clash of two titans is the focus of director/co-writer George Clooney's award winning movie, Good Night and Good Luck. David Strathairn portrays Murrow, the principled, "face of television" who maps his strategy with his producer and confidant, Fred Friendly, (Clooney). A deft ensemble plays staff members in the bustling battleground that is the CBS newsroom. McCarthy is in the mix too, intercut into the action via real-life footage. Don't touch that dial. A media and a nation are going to change--while on the air."

Read more about this 93 minute long film, which was nominated for six Academy Awards including: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, in Wikipedia.

All League members and their guests are welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there and we still recommend the use of masks for everyone's safety.
