This Friday August 21, Barbara Kopple releases Desert One— her thrilling and moving look at the behind-the-scenes story of the attempted rescue during the Iran hostage crisis. 

Watch the film and then join us on Monday, Aug. 24th at 6pm (Eastern) as the NYFVC hosts a special online live Q & A with the legendary filmmaker, Desert One producer (and NYFVC member) Eric Forman, and the DP of many of Barbara’s recent films, Gary Griffin. We’ll discuss the making of the film— particularly timely in an election year— as well as Barbara’s remarkable artistic career, and open the conversation to questions from you.

To watch the film — Greenwich Entertainment has set up a link where the NYFVC receives a portion of the ticket sales, so feel free to share or forward this link to folks you think will enjoy the film.

The Q & A is free and open to all.

Register here and we’ll send you a zoom link for the Q & A.
