Film Screening & Discussion | Bridge of Spies

THIS EVENT IS FULL.

Join us for a screening of the 2015 film “Bridge of Spies,” followed by a discussion with author and historian Gary Powers, who was a consultant on the film. This Cold War thriller tells the story of Powers’ father, pilot Francis Gary Powers, a Virginia native who was shot down while flying over the Soviet Union and later exchanged for Soviet spy Rudolph Abel in February 1962. 

After the Q&A session, Powers will sign copies of his new book, “Cold War Virginia,” which describes the Commonwealth’s central role in the United States’ involvement during the Cold War.

This is a free event, but registration is required. Seating in the Lecture Hall is available on a first come, first served basis. Limited free parking is available underneath the Library at 800 East Broad Street. For more information, contact Anne McCrery at anne.mccrery@lva.virginia.gov or 804.692.3568.
