Watergate

It has been almost 50 years since former US President Richard Nixon was kicked off his “throne”. The revelations of an almost unimaginable network of white house crime forced him to resign in 1974, plunging a whole nation into turmoil. The trigger was a break-in at the Democrat Party’s headquarters in a building complex called Watergate. With access to all available sources, Oscar winner Charles Ferguson reconstructs one of the greatest political scandals of the 20th century in this “comprehensive” Watergate film. Weaving together TV excerpts, eyewitness interviews and re-enactments, he creates a tense journey through time that leads into the midst of an unbelievable fabric of intrigue, lies and betrayals.
