Justice in Film 
Join us for the New-York Historical Society’s film series, featuring opening remarks by notable directors, writers, actors, and historians. This series will explore how film has tackled social conflict, morality, and the perennial struggles between right and wrong that are waged from the highest levels of government to the smallest of local communities.

The Heiress (1949)
Producer Catherine Wyler, playwright Judy Goetz Sanger, and 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl introduce William Wyler’s classic adaptation of Henry James’s Washington Square, in which a wealthy, naïve young woman falls for a handsome man despite the protests of her overbearing father. Directed by William Wyler.
