Hitchens, Ideology and Beer Together Again at June's 'Zeitgeist' Premiere
Rob McGann's documentary American Zeitgeist--an exploration of the culture of the War on Terror--will finally have its New York premiere (and DVD release) June 15 at the NY Society for Ethical Culture. Sure, the interviews (Richard Clarke, Noam Chomsky, David Cross among others) are great, and the doc has made acclaimed festival rounds. But I can see at least one overriding reason why this will be the place for any self-respecting wonk to be that night:
A debate over topics covered in the film, between Christopher Hitchens (Love, Poverty and War) and Mahmood Mamdani (Good Muslim, Bad Muslim), will immediately follow the screening. Free beer will be available courtesy of the Brooklyn Brewery.
Holy shit--Christopher Hitchens and free beer? That is like advertising a Fourth of July party with fireworks and free gasoline. Where do I sign up?
