Atonement

Q&A with Executive Producer, Wayne Rogers

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026 | 7:00pm, Doors 6:30pm | MD Hall Bowen

Atonement (2026) is an intense Iraq War drama directed by Reed Van Dyk, starring Kenneth Branagh (The Devil Wears Prada 2, The King of Kings), Boyd Holbrook (A Complete Unknown, The Morning Show), and Hiam Abbass (Succession). Based on Dexter Filkins' acclaimed 2012 New Yorker article, the film explores the severe psychological and emotional aftermath of war, focusing heavily on moral injury, accountability, and the difficult path to forgiveness.

You may remember the short film DEKALB ELEMENTARY that was at the Annapolis film festival. This short film was directed by Van Dyk and was nominated for an Academy Award. This is his feature film debut.

The film opened at the Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim and will screen at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival later in September. The film is produced by Annapolis' own Tim & Trevor White of Star Thrower Entertainment. A special Q&A will follow the film's screening with executive producer Wayne Rogers, also of Annapolis.
