History Film Series: All the President's Men

How do historians enjoy movies made in or about the past? Learn how film shapes how we remember historical events and how the historian's craft can leap off the page and onto the silver screen! Join us for a short lecture, discussion, and screening of history on film.

This month, the History Film Series is screening All the President's Men (1976, dir. Alan Pakula). Academy Award winners Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star in this true story as Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, whose investigation of a seemingly minor hotel room break-in uncovers the greatest political scandal in United States history and leads to the downfall of President Richard Nixon.

138 min. Rated PG. Biographical neo-noir political thriller. Starring Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jack Warden.

Free and open to the university community. Refreshments will be available.

Introduction and Q&A with Professor Elizabeth Shermer, Professor of History.

Presented by the UGA Department of History, UGA Parents' Council, the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, and the History Graduate Student Association.
