Private Screening & Discussion: A Special Relationship

The Sydney Open Forum invites you to an exclusive private screening and community discussion of

| Private Viewing & Discussion: The Special Relationship | Friendship, Power & Political Reality

What happens when friendship and political power collide?

The Sydney Open Forum invites you to a private viewing of The Special Relationship, a dramatisation centred on Tony Blair and Bill Clinton and the relationships surrounding two powerful political couples. [justwatch.com]

Afterwards, we’ll put the film itself on trial.

Was this truly a relationship between political partners, or an illustration of how power operates between unequal allies? How much can personal trust influence foreign policy? And when principles, friendship and national interest pull in different directions, which should a leader choose?

Expect disagreement. Bring your perspective.

This is not a lecture or a seminar. It is an open forum, where competing interpretations are welcome and respectful argument is part of the evening.

Watch. Question. Discuss.
