From NYIT:

The CIA figures prominently in several of director Doug Liman’s movies, as well as his TV series Covert Affairs. Join us for a screening of Fair Game, a taut and gripping docudrama, based on events in the lives of CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband Joe Wilson, a former career diplomat. When Wilson was sent to Niger by the CIA to verify White House claims that the African state of Niger had been selling yellowcake to Iraq, he concluded the intelligence was false. When he dared to challenge publicly the Bush administration’s facts, his wife was outed as a spy and her identity leaked to a Washington Post columnist. The movie focuses on the couple’s struggle to save their careers, reputations and marriage.
