On January 20, 2005, Americans gathered in the nation’s capital for the second inauguration of George W. Bush as the President of the United States. A Cold Day in DC: The Counter Inaugural is a film about people and events surrounding this day that challenge the administration and its policies, a story of those not seen or heard in mainstream media. This is a story of American citizens united in their dissent.

Following the presentation of this film, its director David Sholle, will discuss the documentary and take questions from the audience.
