Description:

The true story of a courageous group of newsboys who become unlikely heroes in 1899 when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon. Determined to make their dreams come true, they find the courage to challenge the powerful from coast to coast.


In this Disney musical, homeless New York City newsboy Jack "Cowboy" Kelly (Christian Bale) befriends two newcomers to his trade, brothers David (David Moscow) and Les Jacobs (Luke Edwards). When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) sets new rules that make it harder for the young newspaper salesmen to make a buck, the boys go on strike. Bryan Denton (Bill Pullman), a journalist who's sympathetic to their plight, gives them some tips in public relations, as the newsboys' battle grips the city.

1992 ? Drama/Music ? 2h 1m; Director: Kenny OrtegaWhen: Tuesday, December 17, 6pm – 8pm Where: Busboys and Poets, 235 Carroll St NW, Washington, DC 20012
