From MVFF favorite and award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter (Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer) comes this groundbreaking, all-archival film about Lady Bird Johnson, one of the most influential and least understood First Ladies. Delving into the 123 hours of personal audio diaries she recorded during her husband’s presidency—revealing that she was an astute observer of character and culture, as well as a savvy political strategist—it recasts her crucial role in the White House and brings us behind the scenes of one of the most tumultuous, consequential periods in modern American history.

Tickets for these screenings are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
