This will be combined with existing archival material, including the taped conversations recorded by Nixon and other members of his administration, footage from Congressional hearings, interviews conducted during the investigation, transcripts from criminal trials and Supreme Court arguments other legal proceedings, and written first-person accounts from people involved in the scandal. <em>Watergate<\/em> is produced by Representational Pictures for HISTORY.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Watergate investigation transfixed America and the entire world for two years. Forty-five years later, this epic story continues to fascinate,\u201d said Paul Buccieri, the president of A+E Studios and A+E Networks Portfolio Group, parent company of HISTORY. \u201cFrom the corrupt politicians to the tenacious special prosecutors, judges and journalists, the scandal is replete with heroes and villains alike. We are thrilled to partner with Charles to bring a fresh perspective on this complex story whose repercussions are still felt today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson commented: \u201cHISTORY has given me an extraordinary opportunity to explore, and tell, a hugely entertaining but also deeply important story that once transfixed America and the world for two years, but which most younger Americans have never seen before. Hugely compelling, Watergate is at once a sobering, frightening demonstration of the fragility of democracy in the face of the abuse of power, and yet at the same time an inspiring demonstration of how courageous people, many of them young, used America\u2019s institutions to prove that everyone, even the President of the United States, must obey the law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HISTORY has commissioned Watergate, an original documentary series about one of the biggest criminal conspiracies in modern politics that will be produced and directed by Academy Award winner Charles Ferguson (Inside Job).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[474,2214],"class_list":["post-10156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-history","tag-watergate","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
