This week I have 20 sets of passes to a prescreening of Philomena to give away. You may not have heard of it, but it’s racking up some impressive awards on the festival circuit, so you might want to check it out. And what better way to do that than for free and before anyone else!
Screening details:
November 6, 2013 – 7:30 PM
Landmark’s E-Street Cinema
555 11th Street NW
Washington, DC 20004
UPDATE: This contest is now closed. All winners will be notified shortly.
To win a pair of passes, just leave a comment below with your favorite “based on a true story” film.
A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman’s search for her son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a convent.
As always, seating is first come first served and passes do not guarantee a seat. Please arrive early.

There are so many films based on a true story that I love, but I was blown away by Paul Greengrass’ peerless 9/11 film “United 93.”
