Headliners screening of an episode of “David Frost Vs” with Frost’s son Wilfred, April 10
Come to the Holeman Lounge at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 10, for a screening of an episode of the new documentary series "David Frost Vs" followed by a discussion with Frost’s son, Wilfred Frost, on his father’s career and the impact his interviews had on journalism.
Register for the event and purchase tickets online. Tickets are free admission for National Press Club members and cost $10 for the public. The event is sponsored by the Club's Headliners Team.
Drawing from an archive of more than 10,000 era-defining interviews, many of which have been lost for a generation, "David Frost Vs" presents a fresh perspective on the battles of yesterday, which have striking parallels to today’s culture. Frost’s work shows the mid-to-late 20th century as a furnace of change and uncertainty that continues to permeate current affairs.
“I have learned an enormous amount, and I think our viewers will too. Dad’s archive allows us to go behind the scenes of key moments in our recent history and re-examine those moments in a deeply personal way from the mouths of the protagonists themselves at the moments in their lives when it really mattered,” said Wilfred Frost.
The six-part documentary series was made in collaboration with Wilfred and will be aired by MSNBC Films starting April 27.
Doors to the National Press Club’s Holeman Lounge open at 5:30 p.m. to allow attendees time to order a drink from the bar and mingle.
