It was the weekend that forever changed American politics - and yet it has largely been forgotten decades later. That is, until the release of the critically acclaimed new movie Chappaquiddick this spring.
Chappaquiddick is the story of a young woman's accidental death, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy's fall from grace, the end of presidential ambitions within a political dynasty, and an event that forever changed American history. The film, directed by John Curran, and starring Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, Ed Helms and Bruce Dern earned rave reviews and sparked discussions about the beginning of modern political tribalism.
On Thursday, May 31, two of the film’s executive producers and screenwriters Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan will travel to the National Press Club from their respective home bases in Los Angeles and Austin to share their film with Washington at a special NPC Headliners screening of Chappaquiddick in the club’s Conference Rooms at 6 p.m.
Tickets for this event are $5 for National Press Club members (members may purchase two tickets at this rate) and $10 for the general public.
