History Makers International - 2012

CHARLIE ROSE TO CONDUCT A HEADLINE INTERVIEW AT HISTORY MAKERS INTERNATIONAL

Rose, the acclaimed Emmy Award-winning interviewer and host of the nightly self-named PBS show, will conduct an opening Headline Interview with a surprise guest at History Makers International Jan. 26 at the Hudson theatre at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York City.

In the over 20-year history of “Charlie Rose,” Rose himself has interviewed practically every major thinker, politician, entertainer, and business leader in America and has a well-deserved reputation for “frightening intelligence.” His conversation at History Makers comes in the heat of the Presidential Primary campaign, and will provide special insight into US politics and media in 2012. 

Rose’s appearance at History Makers International is made possible by WNET, New York Public Media.

The team behind Martin Scorsese's documentary, George Harrison: Living in the Material World comes to History Makers International to give an insider view of the craft behind the film.

"The closer I looked at his life and his career, the more I was drawn to him, and the way he coped with and learned from the peaks and valleys, those moments when you experience the other side of acclaim and everything comes crashing down around you. It's all very fragile, and he came to understand that and, ultimately, to see beyond it." ~  Martin Scorsese

Join us as the production team involved in director Martin Scorsese's recent documentary George Harrison: Living in a Material World discusses how it combined incredible archive and home movies with remixes of demos and original recordings of George Harrison's music, along with intimate and candid interviews, to make a powerful and moving account of the musical icon's life.
