A reconstruction of the discovery of the White House link with the Watergate affair by two 
young reporters from the Washington Post.

=============

In the run-up to the 1972 elections, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward covers what seems 
to be a minor break-in at the Democratic Party National headquarters. He is surprised to find 
top lawyers already on the defense case, and the discovery of names and addresses of Republican 
fund organizers on the accused further arouses his suspicions. The editor of the Post is 
prepared to run with the story and assigns Woodward and Carl Bernstein to it. They find the 
trail leading higher and higher in the Republican Party, and eventually into the White House 
itself.

=============

Factual account of investigative journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington 
Post whose reporting of the Watergate break-in eventually led to the resignation of Richard 
Nixon, 37th President of the United States. The film focuses on the period from the break-in 
on June 17, 1972 to Nixon's re-election in November later than year. Their perseverance - and 
the support of their editors - revealed that the break-in at the Watergate office complex was 
only one small part of a much larger network of intelligence gathering activities, many of 
which were illegal. The story also focuses on the role of Woodward's now legendary secret source 
dubbed Deep Throat (since identified as FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt) and the encouragement 
he provided when the journalists hit roadblocks in their investigation.

Enactment of the work of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who uncovered the dirty tricks campaign 
and the coverup of the White House's involvement in the Watergate break in. The stories they 
wrote were very instrumental in the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon.
