Hillary Rodham Clinton signs copies of her book “Hard Choices."
Among the high-profile attendees coming to the Hamptons International Film Festival this weekend will be former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
Both Clintons will attend the East Coast premiere of “Zurawski v Texas” at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 5, at East Hampton Middle School. Chelsea Clinton is executive producer of the documentary, and she and her mother will take part in a post-screening Q&A moderated by Mariska Hargitay. Also taking part in the Q&A will be co-directors Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault, and one of the film’s subjects, Molly Duane.
In “Zurawski v Texas,” three women who were denied critical care under Texas’s ambiguous and unforgiving abortion laws band together with the Center for Reproductive Rights to sue Texas. While battling in court against the state and its immovable attorney general, their traumatic experiences are revealed publicly as they wrestle to regain their reproductive rights and set a precedent for millions of other women and families.
Additional participants taking part in Q&As during HIFF screenings in the coming week are: MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff, Rashida Jones, Alec Baldwin, John Heilemann, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James Carville, Jonathan Groff, Fernanda Torres, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei and others.
The Hamptons International Film Festival runs October 4 to 14 at theaters in East Hampton and Sag Harbor. For tickets and screening information on the festival, visit hamptonsfilmfest.org.
