All the President's Men

This movie, adapted from the book, never fails to inspire me, both as a journalist and a researcher. In it, Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that would eventually lead to U.S. President Richard Nixon's resignation. It's a realistic portrayal of the painstaking research that goes into quality journalism and, in these days of media distrust and news avoidance, it brilliantly highlights why we still need reporters and news organizations to do what they do best: pursue the truth and hold those in power to account. Plus, the acting is fantastic! I highly recommend it.
