at PREY Friday, September 30th, 2005 Join us for an evening of dancing, political banter, reduced admission,
drink specials, and free goodies & advance screening passes to the NYC
Warner Independent Pictures advance screening of
Good Night, And Good Luck.
"Good Night, And Good Luck." takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950's America. It chronicles
the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American
Activities Committee. With a desire to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated staff - headed
by his producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the
lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist 'witch-hunts'. A very public feud develops when
the Senator responds by accusing the anchor of being a communist. In this climate of fear and reprisal, the CBS crew carries
on and their tenacity will prove historic and monumental.
