Join NHPR's Civics 101 for Civics at the Cinema, featuring four films that illuminate how pop culture and the government intersect in unforgettable ways. From Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to Election, civics-inspired movies have long educated and entertained the masses about how our government functions, is supposed to function, and sometimes, doesn't function at all.Presented in Partnership with Red River Theatres

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington:
Frank Capra’s classic tale of an idealistic everyman taking on corruption in Washington remains as timely as ever. James Stewart stars as Jefferson Smith, a newly appointed U.S. Senator who discovers the entrenched political machine isn’t ready for his earnest sense of justice. His climactic filibuster is one of the most iconic moments in American cinema.
Stay after the screening for a lively discussion with NHPR’s Civics 101 hosts Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice.
