THE UNKNOWN KNOWN: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DONALD RUMSFELD Special Screenings

Master documentarian Errol Morris turns the “Interrotron” – his notorious device for filming interview subjects as they gaze directly into the camera – toward the subject of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.  One of the most trusted advisors to the Republican elite for more than two decades, Rumsfeld is a fascinating subject whose tendency to share all his thoughts in memo form has created a vast historical archive. From this archive, Morris pores over the past decisions, challenges and artful linguistic constructions that Rumsfeld has built over the years.  Probing and insightful, Morris is the unequalled master of unpacking and contextualizing our recent shared history.
