Woodward, Watergate and Trump

Washington Monthly will host a screening of “All the President’s Men” and the legendary reporter featured in the film, Bob Woodward. The movie will be followed by a conversation with Woodward about his Watergate coverage, parallels to the Trump administration and other insights.

The event, in partnership with American Film Institute’s Silver Theatre, is set for Wednesday, May 29, beginning at 6 p.m.

The Oscar-winning movie stars Robert Redford as Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein; it dramatizes the Washington Post's investigation into the Watergate scandal that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation, and that earned Woodward and Bernstein a Pulitzer Prize.

Woodward’s latest book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” was an international best-seller. He’ll discuss his half-century experience covering Washington and multiple presidents with Washington Monthly Editor-in-Chief Paul Glastris. He will also take questions from the audience.

The Monthly’s Fourth Estate Film Series is a program of classic and contemporary movies about journalists and journalism, featuring in-person discussions with leading reporters, media experts, and film industry luminaries. All events take place at the AFI Silver Theatre at 8633 Colesville Road in Silver Spring, Md.

Other films in the series include “Broadcast News,” and “The Front Page.” Further details are available at http://bit.ly/WMAFI2019.
