The USC Center for the Political Future, The USC School of Cinematic Arts, Outside the Box [Office], Greenwich Entertainment, and CNN Films, invite you to attend this film screening happening on Monday, December 9 at 2:00 pm at the USC Norris Cinema Theatre. After the screening, there will be a Q&A panel discussion featuring:
James Carville: Legendary Democratic political operative.
Matt Tyrnauer: Award-winning writer, journalist, and director, and producer of "Winning is Everything, Stupid."
Bob Shrum (Moderator): Director of the Center for the Political Future and long-time political strategist.
This film features intimate interviews and verité footage with famed Republican operative—and James’s wife of over 30 years—Mary Matalin. Democratic Party luminaries such as Bill Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Begala, Donna Brazile and others help trace the story of Carville’s rise from the bayou to the Beltway, culminating in his masterminding of Bill Clinton’s stunning presidential upset in 1992. Carville’s biography is intercut with his present-day efforts to shape the Democratic Party landscape by taking on the ultra-progressive “woke” wing of the party (which he believes subscribes to an election-losing ideology) and to get Joe Biden to step aside—a high-stakes gambit that puts him at odds with the very establishment he helped build.
Interwoven throughout is the unlikely love story of Carville and Matalin—a union that defies political tribalism and offers a glimmer of hope in our highly polarized times. Their eccentric, endearing, and occasionally hilarious dynamic, captured in intimate moments and conversations, serves as a counterpoint to the gladiatorial nature of modern politics.
