Answer the following questions.
What were the strengths and weaknesses in how the filmmaker presents the documentary of the Watergate scandal? How did the filmmaker of the documentary help you understand the reasons for the Watergate break-in, and the ultimate resignation of President Richard Nixon? Was the story of the Watergate break-in and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon Administration convincing in helping you understand the reason for President Nixon’s resignation? Why or why not? How do the issues regarding the investigations into the Trump administration, such as the involvement of the Russian government in the Trump campaign, or the pressuring of the President of Ukraine to investigate the activities of the son of Joe Biden and his role in the attack on the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021, compare to the Watergate scandal?
