DC/DOX Wraps Successful Third Edition, Maneuvering Around Trump Military Parade
DC/DOX has wrapped its third edition, working around the military parade staged on the orders of Pres. Trump
As fate would have it, the third edition of the prestigious DC/DOX festival fell on the same weekend as President Trump’s birthday, and the $45 million military parade he organized in his honor – strike that, in celebration of the 250 th anniversary of the U.S. Army. One very special guest of the festival — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who attended the screening of Speak., a documentary directed by Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman about five teenagers competing for top awards at the National Speech and Debate Association Championships. In addition to filmmakers — and the Supreme Court Justice — prominent figures in journalism and academia served as moderators of panel discussions and post-screening Q&As, including American University scholar and author Patricia Aufderheide; Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday; Washington Post national enterprise reporter Robert Samuels; David Martin, CBS News national security correspondent; Chuck Todd, former host of NBC’s Meet The Press; and The Atlantic ’s Hanna Rosin.
