Posted
Newport Film  hosts a special screening of “The Race of the Century," a chronicle of the thrilling 1983 America’s Cup.

Key members of the 1983 U.S. and Australian crews sit down for interviews sharing their experience of this ultimate race to victory.
 
The Netflix documentary will be shown Thursday, Sept. 8, at  The Casino Theatre, 12 Freebody St ., Newport. The venue opens at 6 p.m. The film starts at 7 p.m. Suggested $10 donation per person  
Directed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, the film's running time is 82 minutes.
