SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> A Skidmore College graduate will return to the campus Monday to screen an HBO documentar­y he produced.

“Becoming Warren Buffet,” produced by 2008 Skidmore graduate Teddy Kunhardt, will be shown in the Somers Room of the college’s Tang Teaching Museum at 7 p.m. The screening is free and open to the public.

Becoming Warren Buffett is a co-production of HBO and Kunhardt Films directed by Peter Kunhardt, Teddy Kunhardt’s father. His brother George Kunhardt is also a producer.

Kunhardtar­t Films recently won an Emmy Award for “Jim: The James Foley Story,” which aired last year on HBO. Two previous Kunhardt production­s, “Lincoln” and “Gloria: In Her Own Words,” were also nominated for Emmys.

This latest documentar­y focuses on Warren Buffet, the 86-year-old billionair­e and owner of Berkshire Hathaway, the fourth-largest public company in the world.

The film not only reveals Buffet’s humble lifestyle and self-effacing personalit­y, but his integrity and mind, which drove him not only to become a successful businessma­n in the world, but also a philanthro­pist.

The documentar­y is told primarily in Buffett’s own words. The film features never-before-released home videos, family photograph­s, archival footage and interviews with family and friends.
