NEW YORK and POINT ROBERTS, Washington, September 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Investorideas.com (http://www.investorideas.com ) a global news source covering
leading sectors issues an entertainment update on movie producer Chad A. Verdi from Rhode
Island.



It was reported to Investor Ideas that Rhode Island filmmakers Chad & Michelle Verdi
will be joining Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese and his team in NY for the premiere
of "The New York Review of Books: A 50 YEAR ARGUMENT" on September 28th. The Verdi's are
Executive Producers of the film. HBO DOCUMENTARY FILMS will present the film along with
SIKELIA productions in association with Verdi Productions.



The documentary filmed by Martin Scorsese & David Tedeschi tells the story of the
papers found over fifty years ago during the New York City newspaper strike of 1963.



America's leading journal of ideas has pursued its goal with rigor, a unique style and
more than its share of controversy. 'The New York Review of Books: A 50 Year Argument',
directed by acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese and his longtime documentary collaborator
David Tedeschi, rides the waves of literary, political and cultural history in much the
same way as the paper itself.



Provocative, idiosyncratic and incendiary, the film weaves rarely seen archival
material, contributor interviews and excerpts from writings by such icons as James
Baldwin, Gore Vidal, and Joan Didion, with original verite footage filmed in the Review's
West Village office.



These scenes reflect the humming, restless energy of a magazine that, heading into its
second half-century, still feels as vital as its indefatigable founding editor, Robert
Silvers.



Confrontation and intelligent argument are in its DNA, as illustrated in the
documentary by the skirmish between Vidal and Norman Mailer over women's liberation, Mary
McCarthy's jeremiad against American hegemony in Vietnam, Mark Danner's investigation into
the use of enhanced interrogation during the Iraq war, and Michael Greenberg's analysis of
the Occupy movement. Joan Didion's reading from her quietly furious explication of the
1989 Central Park Jogger Case, filmed at the recent fiftieth anniversary event at New
York's Town Hall, exemplifies the film's approach: honor the writers, the writing, and the
paper's determination to reveal the truth in all its complexity.



The film captures the power of ideas in shaping history. "Magazines don't change the
world," says contributor Avishai Margalit, "but they shape a certain kind of climate of
ideas. Influence is like the knight in chess, one move straight and then diagonal. It
doesn't go in straight lines." The film documents this extraordinary process, through the
inimitable filmmaking style of Martin Scorsese.
