Dodge College and Bleecker Street invite you to a free screening of The Assistant on Thursday, February 6 at 7 p.m. in the Folino Theater.

About the Film
Based on nearly a 100 interviews from former assistants of top executives at MIRAMAX, The Weinstein Company, Time Warner Company as well as other industries, THE ASSISTANT is a searing account of how those closest to power are the most vulnerable and abused. Starring Julia Garner of Netflix’s Ozark (2019 Emmy winner) and The Americans, the film portrays a recent college graduate “Jane” as an assistant to a powerful – and feared – film executive. She viscerally feels the insidious abuse that threatens every aspect of her position and those around her. Meticulously researched, the film is written and directed by Kitty Green, Director of the documentaries Casting JonBenet and Ukraine Is Not a Brothel.
