The Media in the Movies:
 
Who can forget Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman chipping away at the Watergate scandal in All the President's Men? Or Jane Fonda exposing a nuclear plant accident in The China Syndrome? Some daring, crusading screen journalists succeed (Spotlight) while others are crushed (Kill the Messenger, Truth). Meanwhile, there are plenty who give the news industry a bad name (Kirk Douglas in Ace in the Hole, Sally Field in Absence of Malice). Join the lectures and see the film clips reflecting on how movies have portrayed the news media throughout the decades.

Max Alvarez is a New York writer, film historian, and frequent speaker on world cinema culture. He has held prominent positions as an entertainment journalist, film and theater critic, and motion picture and archival researcher. He has formed presentation partnerships with organizations such as the American Film Institute and the Library of Congress to broaden understanding of the cultural impact of film.
