Oscars 2018 Party Report: ‘The Final Year’, ‘Call Me by Your Name’ and Brooklynn Prince on the Scene (Photos)
“The Final Year” Director Greg Barker and star/Ambassador Samantha Power
“Each individual (watching “The Final Year”) seems to have a different ratio of depressed-nostalgic on the one hand and inspired-activated on the other ” former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Ambassador Power said at a screening of the much-anticipated doc at Neuehouse on Monday night. The doc covers President Obama’s foreign policy team’s globe-trotting race to the finish of their administration, mainly before the shock election result. Power flew in from Boston to address an intimate audience who got an early look at the film.

“For the next ninety minutes, Obama is still President,”Goldman said in introducing the film. Beyond serving as a mental refuge in the Trump era, this intimate look at big and small moments of foreign diplomacy will be cited thousands of times in application essays to Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service.
