Ellen Ratner defies easy description— a fierce advocate of liberal ideals, she doesn’t shy away from bi-partisan engagement in her journalism for Talk Radio News Service and Fox News. Oscar-winning director Barbara Kopple follows Ratner on assignment, from her home base in Washington, DC to hurricane-ravaged Mississippi to war-torn South Sudan. We meet key figures in her life, including partner Cholene Espinoza and high-profile siblings Michael, a human rights lawyer, and Bruce, a realestate developer, in this revealing portrait. The film will be followed by an extended conversation.
This screening is sold-out. You can line-up for the rush-line; if any tickets become available they will be released 15 min. prior to show-time.
