Our Nixon (2013)

Our Nixon: Directed by Penny Lane. With Richard Nixon, H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, Dwight Chapin. Never before seen Super 8 home movies filmed by Richard Nixon’s closest aides – and convicted Watergate conspirators – offer a surprising and intimate new look into his Presidency.

“The film features footage from 500 hours of 8mm movies shot by Halderman, Erlichman, and Dwight Chapin, however none of the footage shows Charles Colson or John Dean. Did they sue their way out of this production? It seems odd that such major players in the White House with roles significant enough to be incarcerated for regarding participation in the Watergate affair are absent during every occasion these three individuals independently decided to shoot film. The only logical explanation is that they were intentionally omitted for some reason and the filmmakers should have included either in the film or in the closing credits what the reason was.”
