Day of the Jackal

We commit to bring you films on timely subjects, and boy is Day of the Jackal on point, given the assassination attempt on Trump!

Wikipedia:
The Day of the Jackal is a 1973 political thriller film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale. Based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, the film is about a professional assassin known only as the “Jackal” who is hired to assassinate French president Charles de Gaulle in the summer of 1963.[2][3]

A co-production of the United Kingdom and France,[1] the film stars Edward Fox as the Jackal, with Michael Lonsdale, Derek Jacobi, Terence Alexander, Michel Auclair, Alan Badel, Tony Britton, Cyril Cusack, Maurice Denham and Delphine Seyrig. The musical score was composed by Georges Delerue.

Given the attempt to kill Trump and the media story that it was a ‘lone nut gunman”, it’s important to consider how and why political assassinations are done.

We hope to see you at the Freedom Film Festival Friday at our new venue, the Weare Public Library (near 6 North Stark Highway, Weare). A $5 donation is suggested for costs – we’ll start producing printed handouts soon to distribute at other events.
