Pelosi To Visit Houston For Film Screening

No, not that Pelosi, but her daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, will stop through Houston tomorrow as part of theThe Texas Freedom Network 2007 Faith & Freedom Speaker Series. At Downtown's Christ Church Cathedral [1117 Texas Ave.], the producer will screen her award-winning film Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi followed by a conversation with Pelosi as she gives a firsthand account of her memorable encounters with prominent leaders of the religious right. The event will begin at 7pm and is free and open to the public.

Pelosi presents her up-close and personal encounters with some influential members of the evangelical community, from Houston's Joel Osteen, the most-watched TV minister in America, to Ted Haggard, who recently stepped down as president of the 30-million strong National Association of Evangelicals following allegations that he had sex with a male prostitute and purchased illegal drugs.

Alexandra Pelosi began her career in TV covering politics in Washington, D.C., and subsequently served as a network news producer for seven years. For her first film, 2000’s Emmy®-winning HBO documentary “Journeys with George,” she spent 18 months on the campaign trail with then future president George Bush.

Pelosi is the daughter of California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who became the first female Speaker of the House in history.
