Washington Interns Gone Bad Episode 4

Here's the fourth episode of my feature film, Washington Interns Gone Bad. I highly recommend you start at the beginning, so here's part 1, here's part 2, and part 3.

The fact that we tapped into something very real with this film is illustrated by the many instances in the years since it was made that life has imitated art. Here's the first of those instances.
