THE REPORT — SCOTT Z. BURNS IN CONVERSATION

THE REPORT—written and directed by Scott Z. Burns—will screen during the first week of the MoMA Contenders 2019 series at the Hammer Museum. Burns will be on hand for a Q & A following the screening.

Featuring Adam Driver as a Senate committee investigator and Annette Bening as his boss—senior California Senator Dianne FeinsteinTHE REPORT is essential viewing for anyone even remotely curious about how government agencies tasked to protect the country often bungle the job in a morass of startling incompetence, territorial pride, political self-dealing, and ideological zealotry.

Burns’ lucid script and mise-en-scène tell the story of the Bush-Cheney Administration’s illegal, inept torture program following 9/11 and its aftermath—a decade and a half of discovery, investigation, destroyed documents, and thwarted oversight.

Tickets for the MoMA Contenders series are $20 general and $10 for Hammer Museum members.
