The Film: Reagan

August 7, 2025 - 3:00pm - Siena Ballroom

Reagan biographer, Paul Kengor, said the disparity between the audience and critics' reviews reminded him of the 1980 presidential election, which Reagan won in a landslide against Democratic incumbent President Jimmy Carter. If you need any more evidence that there is a gap the width of the Grand Canyon between the views of progressive elites and many average Americans, look no further than the reaction to Reagan. Movie critics did everything but pour boiling tar on the film and its makers. Yet, starkly different is audience appreciation. Jessica McBride opined: “Was Ronald Reagan perfect? No. But he was the perfect man for the time. Was the Reagan movie perfect? No. But it’s the perfect movie for THIS time.”

On October 26, 1978, a U.S. Navy P-3 Orion turboprop aircraft ditched into the North Pacific after a propeller malfunction. "Navy Alfa Foxtrot 586," on a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula, sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it. Two lives were lost, including a flight engineer and command pilot, Jerry Grigsby. Of the surviving thirteen men huddled together in the remaining two rafts, three eventually died from exposure. Loreen Gibbons, Jerry’s widow, authored the memoir, “All Eternity Lies Before Me.” Told from Loreen's perspective as well as from the perspectives of the survivors— including husband, Matt, said flight’s tactical coordinator— details the struggle, grief, and heroism of the men and their rescuers.
