Documentary on Mike Wallace to play at City Lights
The new documenta-
ry covering the career of
legendary broadcast jour-
nalist Mike Wallace, most
famous for his stint on
“60 Minutes,” comes to
City Lights Cinemas this
Wednesday, Sept. 4, at
noon and 5:40 p.m., with
an encore Saturday, Sept.
7, at noon.
This documentary ex-
posé of 60 Minutes’ news-
man Mike Wallace turns
his hard-hitting, no-holds-
barred journalistic style
loose on Wallace himself,
who is considered by many
to be the inventor of the
form.
Wallace unflinchingly
interrogated the biggest
figures of the 20th century.
During 50 years on the air,
his aggressive reporting
style and showmanship
redefined what America
has come to expect from
broadcasters.
As riveting as it is topi-
cal, “Mike Wallace Is Here”
mirrors its subject’s scru-
tinous gaze to better un-
derstand how the nation
arrived at the precarious
media tipping point being
experienced today.
Exhuming decades of
never-before-seen
foot-
age from the “60 Minutes”
vault, filmmaker Avi Bel-
kin crafts an all-archival
portrait that explores what
drove and plagued the
restless reporter whose
storied career and trou-
bled personal life were
inherently entwined with
the evolution of broadcast
journalism itself.
Tickets are currently
available at City Lights
Cinemas, 1930 Highway
101 in Florence, and on-
line at citylightscinemas.
