Deaf Conversations About Cinema: The Report
Please note: This event took place in Nov 2019
Director Steven Soderbergh's new film is a searing political thriller about the U.S Senate's real life investigation into the CIA's use of torture post 9/11. The 16:40 screening on Mon 18 Nov will feature Descriptive Subtitles and an introduction from Thea Berry, Watershed’s Cinema Producer followed by a post-show discussion with audience members, both of which will have simultaneous BSL (British Sign Language) interpretation.
Daniel Jones (Adam Driver) is tasked by Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Bening) with delivering a definitive report on the "enhanced interrogation techniques" the nation's top intelligence agency adopted after the 9/11 attacks. Jones' relentless pursuit of the truth, over half a decade, leads to explosive findings that uncover the lengths to with the CIA (and the White House) went to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a brutal secret from the American public.
Brimming with authenticity, writer/director Scott Z. Burns nods to the politically conscious thrillers of the 1970s whilst delivering a fresh, incredibly timely feat of storytelling that is deservedly receiving major Oscar® buzz.
Join us in the Café & Bar from 18:45 for an informal discussion, which will include BSL interpretation. You’ll receive 10% off drinks with your cinema ticket – so grab a glass and let us know your thoughts about The Report.
