Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Take a comprehensive look at the Watergate scandal and explore the controversial career of the only United States president ever to resign from office as former President Richard M. Nixon sits down with probing journalist David Frost for an illuminating series of live, unscripted interviews. His fall from power was nothing short of spectacular, yet still Nixon remains one of the most fascinating and complex political figures of the entire 20th Century. In addition to serving as Nixon's first public appearance since his high profile resignation, these interviews offer candid insight into the mind of the man who stood at the center of American during a particularly turbulent era in our nation's history. Though Nixon's second term in office was cut short following the 1972 break-in at Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C., journalist Frost attempts to get to the bottom of the Watergate scandal by engaging the former Commander in Chief in a candid and penetrating series of interviews.
