PAIS Film Club: Charlie Wilson's War starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts
MS0.1 Maths and Statistics

CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (2007) - the Oscar nominated film starring Ryan Gosling and starring and directed by George Clooney

Thursday, October 10 at 7pm in MS0.1

Introduced by Andrew Hammond

Linked to PO379 United States Foreign Policy

In the early 1980s, Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) is a womanizing US congressional representative from Texas who seemed to be in the minor leagues, except for the fact that he is a member of two major foreign policy and covert-ops committees. However, prodded by his major conservative supporter, Houston Socialite Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), Wilson learns about the plight the people are suffering in the brutal Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. With the help of the maverick CIA agent, Gustav "Gust" Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Wilson dedicates his canny political efforts to supply the Afghan mujahideen with the weapons and support to defeat the Soviet Union. However, Charlie Wilson eventually learns that while military victory can be had, there are other consequences and prices to that fight that are ignored to everyone's sorrow.
