Never before seen Super 8 home movies filmed by Richard Nixon's closest aides - and convicted Watergate conspirators - offer a surprising and intimate new look into his Presidency.

Mike Wallace est le journaliste qui a inventé les interviews télévisées sans compromis et est devenu une icône de l'émission d'investigation d'actualité 60 minutes. Après presque un demi-siècle d'interviews, il prend la place de l'interviewé. Le film raconte l’histoire personnelle et professionnelle de Wallace - des montagnes russes abruptes - à travers des archives fascinantes de ses célèbres entretiens approfondis avec Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon, Barbara Streisand, Vladimir Poutine et beaucoup d’autres, ainsi que de certains de ses entretiens. Brillant et très drôle, Wallace n’a pas peur de l’honnêteté. Le film est un miroir intelligent et inquiétant du journalisme d’aujourd’hui.

From 1971 to 1973, Richard Nixon secretly recorded his private conversations in the White House. This film chronicles the content of those tapes, which include Nixon's conversations on the war in Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers leak, his Supreme Court appointments, and more--while also exposing shocking statements he made about women, people of color, Jews, and the media.

He counseled presidents and popes, served on corporate boards and infuriated Richard Nixon. He was one of the only friends to whom Ann Landers turned for advice. During his 35 years as president of the University of Notre Dame, Theodore Hesburgh became one of the most influential and inspiring people of the 20th century.

The enigmatic nature of the Nixon presidency combined comparatively progressive legislative initiatives with a flagrant abuse of presidential power and the public trust. His achievements in expanding peaceful relations with China and the Soviet Union stand in stark contrast with his continuation of the war in Vietnam. Finally brought down by scandal and duplicity, his administration did much to erode the citizenry's faith in government.

CIA director Bill Martin knows that an incoming president means a new direction for the country—and another set of eyes on the top secret Primula Report. Martin tries to build a rapport with his new boss, but President Richard Monckton is more interested in settling old scores and cleaning house with the help of the FBI.
