Alum's Warren Buffett film debuts

A profile of the longtime U.S. finance mogul, Becoming Warren Buffett was produced by the award-winning production company of Teddy Kunhardt ’08. The documentary premiered Jan. 30 on HBO, and now it's coming to Skidmore. The film will be screened Monday, March 6, at 7 p.m. in the Tang Museum's Somers Room; a Q&A with Kunhardt will follow. The event is free and open to the public.

Told primarily in Buffett’s own words, the film includes never-before-seen home videos, family photographs, archival footage, and interviews with his family and friends.

The film is directed by Kunhardt’s father, Peter, who founded the production company (CNN interview here). The firm’s documentaries on American presidents, Oprah Winfrey, Pete Seeger, and other subjects have appeared on PBS and other major media outlets. Now with Teddy sharing the helm, Kunhardt Films recently won another Emmy, this one for Jim: The James Foley Story.
