President of the United States Resigning. All The President's Men Revisited.



This is for education purposes only. A Robert Redford small feature on the impact of Watergate 40 years later. The video reassembles the major players of the film 'All the President's Men, 1976' along with political guests and reexamines both the film and actual events surrounding Watergate.

...we had back then. That was pre-cable and pre-internet.

For some reason I don't think that was all bad. We got the news we needed, and not hours and hours of "analysis".

Everyone was glued to the hearings. I was thrilled to see some justice come to our nation's number one crook. Here's hoping Trump gets his too.
