The Capital - Red-Carpet Premiere

An IPPH original film that uncovers the story of how the nation’s capital came to be. From the leadership of figures like George Washington, Pierre L’Enfant, and Benjamin Banneker, to the debates and tensions that surrounded the new nation, The Capital explores the birth of the American city that most fully defines the spirit of “We the People.”

For our Members and donors, we’re excited to offer special benefits at the event. If you’re an IPPH Member or eligible donor, you and 1 guest (must register separately) will receive entry to the VIP premiere reception and will be seated in our priority seating area.
