Student Event: Screening of ‘Bridge of Spies’

Who said that Cold War history and entertainment cannot be combined? The Cold War Research Network is excited to merge these elements by hosting a student-oriented screening of the critically acclaimed film 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙨. We warmly invite you to join us!

Set during the Cold War in 1960, 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙨 is a 2015 historical drama that illustrates the complex diplomacy and networks of communication between the US and USSR, especially concerning espionage. The film vividly portrays a high-stakes prisoner exchange between a Soviet and an American spy, delivering a thrilling narrative.

The CWRN’s and Utrecht University’s own, Dr. Eleni Braat, Associate Professor of Secret Intelligence History, will be present to provide a brief introduction enriching the viewing with historical insights and details about intelligence in the Cold War.

The film screening promises to be a highlight for this academic year and we would be delighted to share this experience with you. Please repost, like, and share the event with your classmates and friends!

We hope to see you there!
