2013 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Errol Morris’ The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld

Date:

After a trio of titles (92’s A Brief History of Time ,97’s Fast Cheap & Out of Control, 99’s Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.) Errol Morris hasn’t presented a docu at the fest in some time. A promo reel was shown in Cannes and at TIFF, RADiUS-TWC picked up the rights and mention that a 2013 release is planned for The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld. Logically they might want to lock the helmer down before it conflicts with the production of Freezing People Is Easy – Morris’ feature debut.

Gist: Former United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, discusses his career in Washington D.C. from his days as a congressman in the early 1960s to planning the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Production Co./Producers: Errol Morris, History Films, Radius-TWC and Participant Media

Prediction: U.S. Documentary Competition or Spotlight Documentary

U.S. Distributor: RADiUS-TWC
