    One of the most controversial and influential American men featured in film at Fisher Theatre

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (November 25, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the critically-acclaimed new film “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” Nov. 29-Dec. 4 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    One of the most controversial and influential American men of the 20th Century, Roy Cohn was a ruthless and unscrupulous lawyer and political power broker whose 28-year career ranged from acting as chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Communist-hunting subcommittee to molding the career of a young Queens real estate developer named Donald Trump.

    Cohn formulated his playbook in the 50s, but it is all too familiar today: always attack; never admit blame or apologize; use favors and fear to ensure support for your objectives; expertly manipulate the media to gain advantage and destroy your opponents; lie shamelessly, invalidating the idea of truth; weaponize lawsuits; evade taxes and bills; and, most importantly, inflame the prejudices of the crowd by scapegoating defenseless people.

    “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” tells Cohn’s story from his birth in 1927 to his death in 1986, a picaresque journey that carries us from the Depression, through the Red Scare of the 50s, to the 70s and 80s New York high life of wealth, celebrity, and Studio 54.

    Both for those who remember Cohn and those who were too young to have any awareness of him, Matt Tyrnauer’s “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” lays out who Cohn was and how his lessons to his apprentice Donald Trump have shaped contemporary American politics.

    Even those who think they know everything about Roy Cohn will find much that is new in this deeply researched film, which utilizes a great deal of material never publicly seen. Those with little previous knowledge of Cohn’s story will have their eyes opened to the sizeable impact he continues to have on us, despite being dead for decades. By showing how America’s current divisions are rooted in dark areas of our past, “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” offers an illuminating portrait of where we are today.

    “Endlessly fascinating. Impossible to look away. A ferocious, fast-paced account of a real-life supervillain.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    “A delectable look at a despicable person.” — The Wrap

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
