Jason Bosch won a MasterMind for his work with ArgusFest, showing important movies for trivial prices. And tonight, ArgusFest will be screening two more segments of Oliver Stone’s The Untold History of the United States.
And as Bosch notes, “You don’t need to have seen the first parts to follow along, since history had no beginning and will never end.”
The two episodes of the documentary, which was directed and narrated by Oliver Stone, will be shown at the Mercury Cafe at 2199 California Street starting at 7 p.m.
Tonight’s installments:
