Join Young America’s Foundation (YAF) at the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home on August 22 as we host the red-carpet screening of REAGAN in the President’s own hometown!
Over four days in 2021, YAF hosted the film crew for the production of Reagan: The Movie amidst the picturesque landscape of Rancho del Cielo. Starring Dennis Quaid, John Voight, and Penelope Ann Miller, Reagan embodies a profound exploration of Ronald Reagan’s journey—from his humble childhood upbringing in Dixon, Illinois, to his days on the silver screen in Hollywood, to his world-changing leadership on the global stage as 40th President of the United States.
Narrated by Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes intertwined with President Reagan’s when Reagan first catches the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, the film offers a unique and captivating perspective on one of America’s greatest leaders. Dennis Quaid delivers a portrayal of Ronald Reagan that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, delving into the enduring impact of his journey, sustained by the steadfast and loving support of Nancy Reagan.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, REAGAN promises to captivate nationwide audiences with its blend of historical drama and personal narrative.
The Dixon: Historic Theatre, where President Reagan premiered International Squadron in 1942, serves as the venue for this exclusive red-carpet affair hosted by YAF. This event not only celebrates the legacy of President Reagan, but also honors the artistic vision that vividly brings his remarkable story to life on screen.
YAF also invites you to share this captivating movie with students, ensuring President Reagan’s values and lasting accomplishments inspire the next generation in the cause for freedom. If you are interested in sponsoring a student to see the film, please visit YAF.org/reaganfilm.
REAGAN releases in theaters nationwide on August 30, 2024.
