Becoming Warren Buffett

Q&A filmmaker/producer Peter Kunhardt and Peter Buffett with JBFC Founder Stephen Apkon

SOLD OUT Unredeemed tickets may become available for purchase. Sign up at the box office for the stand-by line one hour before showtime.

Becoming Warren Buffett tells the improbable story of how an ambitious, numbers-obsessed boy from Nebraska became one of the richest, most-respected men in the world. Now 86, Buffett still lives in a modest home in Omaha, and continues to drive himself to the office every morning to manage Berkshire Hathaway, the fourth-largest public company in the world. But more surprising than his humble lifestyle is Buffett’s moral integrity, which drove him not only to become the most successful businessman in the world, but also an unparalleled philanthropist. Produced by Emmy Award-winning documentarian Peter Kunhardt (Jim: The James Foley Story, Living with Lincoln), this candid portrait offers unprecedented access to Buffett’s day-to-day personal life and sheds new light on a man who has helped shape the way Americans view capitalism.
