“Battle of the Sexes” Screening and Discussion with Directors
The 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs became the most watched televised sports event of all time. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposites sides of a binary argument, but off-court, each was fighting more personal and complex battles.
Film screening followed by Q&A with the directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris on December 7, 2:00pm – 4:45pm in the Tsai Performance Center.
