Eyewitness to History: Lessons From Two Decades Covering the World
The Iowa City Foreign Relations Council invites you to join them for a special event featuring Frank Langfitt, National Public Radio’s Global Democracy Correspondent.
This free event will be hosted by Iowa Public Radio River to River host Ben Kieffer. From 4:30 to 5:30 guests will enjoy an hors d’oeuvres reception prior to the presentation.
Frank Langfitt has reported from more than 50 countries and territories since the late 1990s. In a video and audio presentation, he will recount the history he’s witnessed through the people he’s met, and how that history has shaped today’s challenging geo-political landscape. He’ll explain what he learned driving a free taxi in Shanghai and tracking elephants in South Sudan. He’ll also discuss reporting in Ukraine during Russia’s 2022 invasion and covering the Israel/Gaza war.
This event ends a year-long series celebrating 40 years of ICFRC impact in Iowa City and beyond.
