Pakula, 1976, 138min, United States, PG) SUNDAY, 9/6 @ 10:30AM & 4:30PM + THURSDAY, 9/10 @ 7PM Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star as newsmen Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward in Pakula’s riveting retelling of the startling series of true events whereby the assignment of two Washington Post reporters to investigate the suspiciously urgent Republican response to what appears to be just an amateurish break-in at the Democratic Party National headquarters at the Watergate Hotel would lead to the toppling of a president. The process of investigative journalism rendered as high drama, its unerring eye for realistic detail extending to a scrupulous reproduction of the Post’s newsroom floor."

AMERICAN DREAM - 4K Restoration (Barbara Kopple/Lawrence Silk/Cathy Caplan/Thomas Haneke, 1990, 98min, United States, PG-13) Winner of the 1991 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Barbara Kopple’s American Dream unflinchingly details the explosive 1985–86 labor strike against Hormel Foods in Austin, Minnesota, a city ripped apart in the tumult. Fed up with dangerous plant conditions and drastic wage cuts, Austin’s Local P-9 went against the advice of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and, with the help of labor activist Ray Rogers’s campaign to damage the meatpacking giant’s public reputation, conducted a nearly yearlong walkout. But as the strike dragged on, some workers found themselves desperate to make ends meet and ready to cross the picket line, dividing a community already betrayed by a once progressive company and roiled by blockades, riots, and the intervention of the National Guard. Following up her landmark documentary Harlan County USA with another engrossing report from the trenches of working-class America, Kopple poignantly captures the human and political costs of one of the most significant setbacks to organized labor amid the unchecked corporatism of the Reaganomics era. Supervised and approved by director Barbara Kopple, this 4K digital restoration was undertaken by Janus Films and the Criterion Collection from a scan of the 16 mminternegative. The original monaural soundtrack was remastered from the 35 mm DME magnetic track.
