This week at the Harbor Theater
"Young Washington"- (PG13; 2 hours, 5 minutes) - Before he was the Father of a Nation, he was a soldier fighting to survive. A single misstep thrusts young George Washington into the center of a global conflict, testing his honor, loyalty, and courage. As alliances crumble and the frontier erupts into war, he must confront not only his enemies but the man he's becoming. This is the untold story of Young Washington. Wednesday, July 8, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, July 9, 7 p.m.
"WBCN And The American Revolution" - (NR; 2 hours, 5 minutes) - The Airwaves Belong to the People: WBCN and the American Revolution is the definitive account of WBCN-FM Boston, the legendary Boston radio station that helped change American music, politics, and media forever. At a time when the mainstream press was failing to tell Americans the truth about Vietnam, the draft, and the Nixon administration, WBCN did something radical: it told the truth. The film begins in 1968, when the counterculture arrived in Boston — hippies in the streets, police cracking down, a generation looking for something new.
On March 15, 1968, a classical music station became something previously unheard on American radio — a place where people said what they thought, played what they wanted, and changed everything. It features Bruce Springsteen's first radio interview and live in-studio performance (1973), Patti Smith's first radio concert (1975), and rare archival material from Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Garcia, David Bowie, and Lou Reed. Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Bill Lichtenstein brings together rare archival footage, iconic recordings, and the voices of the people who were there — on the air, in the streets, and in the halls of power. ONE SHOW ONLY: Wednesday, July 8, 7 p.m. Regular ticket prices apply.
“A fascinating journey back in time when music and radio were at the center of a movement, and an inspiration for what media can be today. WBCN holds a special place in history.” — Jon Abbott, President and CEO, WGBH
"Disclosure Day" - (PG13; 2 hours, 25 minutes) - What if the truth about extraterrestrial life was suddenly undeniable? And what if the people who uncovered it became targets? In visionary filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s latest original sci-fi thriller, a cybersecurity expert uncovers evidence that humanity is not alone—and finds himself hunted after exposing a far-reaching conspiracy. As mysterious events begin unfolding around the globe, an inquisitive meteorologist joins the race to reveal a truth that could change everything we know about our place in the universe. Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo, Disclosure Day combines suspense, spectacle, and Spielberg’s signature sense of wonder into a thought-provoking adventure that asks one unforgettable question: What if the greatest discovery in human history belonged to all of us? Opening Friday, July 10, 7 p.m., Saturday, July 11, 7 p.m., Sunday, July 12, 2 p.m., Monday, July 13, 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 14, 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 15, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, July 16, 7 p.m.
“His highly anticipated return to the sci-fi summer blockbuster, the brilliant and beguiling Disclosure Day, is Spielberg’s most shameless appeal toward idealism yet.” – Coleman Spilde, Salon.com
