This Old Cub

Sunday, June 10, 1:30 p.m.

This acclaimed documentary focuses on Chicago Cubs legend Ron Santo, and his lifelong battle with diabetes. He played most of his all-star career without revealing his disease, in fear he would be forced to retire. This Old Cub captures the spirit of a man’s will. Narrated by Joe Mantegna.

The Real George Washington

Sunday, July 15, 1:30 p.m.

George Washington heads the dollar bill — but another, more accurate face was recently created by forensic investigators. How much of what we “know” about Washington the man is accurate? Recent research fleshes out a more complex portrait of the first U.S. president.

Speed & Angels

Sunday, August 12, 1:30 p.m.

Naval officers Jay and Meagan have dreamed of flying since childhood. Their two-and-a-half year trek to the cockpit took them to the biggest challenge young officers face: wartime deployments to Iraq.

Studs On Film

Saturday, June 2, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

In recognition of the centennial of Studs Terkel’s birth, the Museum proudly partners with Media Burn to showcase episodes of Stud’s Place, Studs on a Soapbox, and other documentaries, as well as newly compiled footage of Studs at home, at WFMT, and in various Chicago locales. A discussion will follow each 90-minute screening.

Cost: Free to the public
