Once the dust settles from a terrorist incident, the investigation begins. Who perpetrated the attack? What materials did they use? Who sponsored them? Which vulnerabilities did they exploit? These investigations often take years and involve hundreds of U.S. and foreign intelligence and law enforcement officers. Differing chain of evidence procedures, cultural miscommunication, and political pressures further complicate investigations. These tensions are showcased in the recent feature film The Kingdom, starring Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner.

Please join YPFP for a special screening of "The Kingdom". The showing will be followed by a discussion led by Michael Rolince, a consultant to this film and former FBI Special Agent in Charge for the Washington Field Office's Counterterrorism Division. To attend, please register by emailing your name and affiliation to events@ypfp.org.
