On September 16, David Grubin will
join us to speak about his award-winning
documentary LBJ and its larger-than-life
subject. The documentary won the duPont Award
among many other prizes and was chosen as one of
the best documentaries of 1992 by The New York
Times, The Boston Globe, Newsday,
and People magazine. Mr. Grubin will show
clips from the film; the film will not be shown in its
entirety. The four-hour biography will be shown locally
on PBS on October 20 (part 1) and October 27 (part
two).
David Grubin is a producer, director, writer, and
cinematographer who has won every major award in
his field, including three George Foster Peabody
