In partnership with CNN Films, the National Archives presents a premiere screening of a new documentary film: The End: Inside the Last Days of the Obama White House. The film offers an extraordinarily candid and intimate portrait of the people working closest to the Obamas. Viewers go inside the offices, sit in meetings, and see first-person reflections of the ambitions, achievements, heartbreak, and history of the past eight years, told through the people who have shared the Obamas’ journey. Executive produced for CNN Films by Toby Oppenheimer, Amy Entelis, Susan Chun, and Courtney Sexton.

Following the screening, CNN’s Jake Tapper will moderate a panel discussion. Panelists include David M. Axelrod, political analyst and Chief Strategist for Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns; and Jay Carney, 28th White House Press Secretary who served during the presidency of Barack Obama.
