Wag the Dog

When the U.S. president is caught sexually harassing a minor in the Oval Office less than two weeks before the election, his aide (Anne Heche) turns to spin doctor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) to minimize the fallout. Conrad collaborates with Hollywood producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman) on fabricating a fake war in Albania and the president’s scandal is quickly ignored until the CIA begins to question the veracity of this war.

This screening will be followed by a community conversation led by the University of Missouri's Truman School of Government and Public Affairs exploring topics such as the media, elections, and public opinion.

Please note that FREE tickets for the public will be available at the Ragtag Box Office starting Thursday, September 24 at 12PM. 

No more than two free tickets will be given to one person.

A free ticket guarantees you a seat until 10 minutes before showtime and not after. If all tickets have been distributed and there are open seats at 10 till, we will start seating the theater from the waiting list (queue). Ticket holders will continue to be admitted at this time if seats are available. This policy allows us to start on time and give the audience a distraction-free experience.
