Frost/Nixon

Frost/Nixon dramatizes the 1977 televised interviews between British journalist David Frost and disgraced former U.S. President Richard Nixon in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and Nixon’s resignation. What begins as a celebrity-style media event evolves into a tense moral reckoning over abuse of presidential power, political accountability, and the manipulation of public perception. Its exploration of image management, partisan loyalty, and the fragile line between democracy and authoritarian impulse resonates as strongly now as it did during Nixon’s era, reminding us that political scandals are never just about one leader, but about the systems and citizens that enable or resist them. “Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, Frost/Nixon makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils.” — The New York Times
