Description

Witness the Nixon presidency as never before seen: through the lens of three of his top aides, who obsessively documented their experiences in the White House from 1969 to 1973. Shot on Super 8 home movie cameras, the footage, which captures everything from historic anti-war protests to the Republican National Convention, was seized by the FBI during Watergate and filed away at the National Archives, forgotten for almost 40 years. Director Penny Lane offers a rare, intimate glimpse into one of the most infamous American presidencies in history.
