A Cold Day in DC

On Jan. 20, 2005, Americans gathered in the nation's capital for the second inauguration of George W. Bush. "A Cold Day in DC: The Counter Inaugural" is a film about citizens challenging the administration and its policies, a story of those not seen or heard in mainstream media.

Graduate student filmmakers from Miami University in Ohio came to the counterinaugural last January and filmed the protests in the streets. They also shot a DC Poets Against the War reading at Karibu Books and incorporated the readings and interviews into their compelling film.

Join DC Poets Against the War at the DC premiere screening of this film by David Sholle, produced by Andrea Chalfin (Song of Dissent Productions, 2005 - 60 mins.). The film will be followed by discussion and an open mic.

When: Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 9 p.m.
Where: Busboys and Poets, 14th & V Streets NW (U Street/Cardozo Metro)
