Three years after his resignation in 1974, Richard Nixon is looking for a way to rehabilitate his public image and legacy. The former president, who resigned from office to avoid impeachment in the wake of the Watergate scandal, agrees to a series of interviews with British journalist David Frost. Though Nixon’s literary agent viewed the interviews as an opportunity for the disgraced Commander in Chief to take control of his own narrative, Frost proved to be a formidable opponent. His challenging, pointed questions ultimately put Nixon on his heels and further cemented his reputation as a crook. Runs through Feb. 10.
