Nerd Prom: Inside Washington's Wildest Week

Starring: Llewellyn King, Anne Schroeder, Tucker Carlson, et al.

Do you know about the very real dinner for influencing Washington's power players? This documentary, movie unravels the unadulterated self-celebration known as the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner. It's a cruel irony During a time in which Americans' approval of their representatives and reporters in Washington stands at embarrassing lows, the single biggest event in the United States' capitol each year is not one filled with civic-mindedness and public service. Instead, it is an unadulterated self-celebration known as the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner. What began in 1921 as a one night dinner affair has escalated into a five day celebration each spring that consists of nearly two dozen parties The dinner and these parties represent the hottest and most sought after tickets in town as well as being the single most important opportunity for those trying to influence Washington's power players. While the Association attempts to frame the weekend as being about the important and increasingly difficult work of White House correspondents, the festivities have taken on an entirely different purpose.
