Click here to join the waitlist and be notified when space becomes available. \nUpon accepting the Democratic nomination for president in 1988\, Michael Dukakis tells his fellow citizens that when they see an image of the White House\, he wants them to feel pride. He pledges to serve in a White House that “sets high standards not just for the American people\, but high standards for itself.” “Dukakis” catches up with the unflappable three-term Massachusetts governor three decades later. On a snowy afternoon\, in the same Brookline\, Massachusetts duplex he bought with his wife Kitty more than 50 years ago\, he pulls a frozen turkey carcass from the freezer and starts chopping onions. \nWhile soup broth simmers\, “Dukakis” takes viewers on a journey along his long arc of leadership\, reflecting on his formative years as the son of Greek immigrants up to the present. At age 85\, he mentors budding public servants as a college professor. He also chairs a commission to connect Boston’s North and South rail stations – a project he has backed since the 1970s. Meanwhile a crop of new leaders – including Northeastern University undergraduate Juan Gallego\, also a son of immigrants – carries Dukakis’ legacy forward all the way to the governor’s office. \n“Democracy is a work in progress\,” says Dukakis as he fills a bowl with steaming soup. “A precious gift that needs constant nurturing.” Amidst unprecedented uncertainty in American politics\, “Dukakis” offers a reason to pause\, take stock in the past\, and look forward with renewed faith in what’s possible when people believe in democracy\, and each other. \nVIEW FILM WEBSITE \nPLAY TRAILER \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 5 located at: 302 Charles E Young Dr N\, Westwood\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095. Parking Structure 5  is accessible from Royce Drive\, south of Sunset Boulevard\, and west of Hilgard Ave. (in the northeast section of the campus). \nNo parking attendants will be on-site at the parking structure\, and Pay-By-Space/Visitor Parking is extremely limited in this lot\, so we highly encourage you to purchase a parking permit in advance: \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $17 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.
