Nixon (1990)
Directed by David Espar, Marilyn H. Mellowes, Elizabeth Deane
“The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon”
Documentary, History · 2h 45m
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.
