Product Description
From 1971-73, Richard Nixon secretly recorded his private conversations in the White House. When the existence of the tapes was exposed during the Watergate scandal, Nixon refused to allow their release, explaining they contained "blunt and candid remarks on many different subjects" that could sully the presidency forever. Only certain conversations pertaining to Watergate ended up being heard at the time, but after Nixon's death in 1994, the government began releasing the tapes. In 2010, hundreds more hours of recordings were released by the Nixon Library. Using excerpts from the tapes, original press reports, and Nixon's reflections a decade after the tapes were exposed, Nixon By Nixon: In His Own Words chronicles Nixon's conversations about historic events including the war in Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers leak, his Supreme Court appointments, and more. The tapes expose many of the "blunt and candid" statements made by the President about women, people of color, Jews, and -- perhaps his favorite target -- the media. Directed by Peter Kunhardt and edited by Phillip Schopper, the team behind HBO's In Their Own Words films, Nixon By Nixon: In His Own Words offers a more complete picture of the only U.S. president to resign from office.

Yet this same man created the EPA, issued the executive order that became Affirmative Action, opened dialog with China and Russia that would bring the world back from the brink permanently, and constantly demonstrated a deep understanding of both domestic and foreign policy that few presidents have ever possessed.
Many will be tempted to draw parallels with the incoming president Donald Trump for the most superficial of reasons. And there are indeed many such reasons: dismissal of so-called intellectual elites, appeals to a so-called silent majority of heartland neglected virtue, hatred of the press, reliance on low brow smear tactics against opponents, appeals to law and order to create fear, and so on. But if you go beyond the superficial any comparison quickly crumbles.
Nixon was a life long public servant with a formidable intellect. He was capable of introspection - to little and too late, alas - and possessed a sense of duty that ultimately transcended his own ego. Finally, Nixon, were he only able to manage his myriad demons, had the capacity to have become a great president.
He was such a dichotomous man along with discovering several other sides to him that just keep popping up the more you learn. This documentary shows just how devious he is and the pandering he intends to do to the people he feels worthy of that information... "The Silent Majority". What he did to get elected into the second term of office is spelled out in short-form but a truth. Also, H.R. Haldeman along with Henry Kissinger's conversations with the President come to life as does John Dean who comes clean during the hearings all producing a knot in my stomach for our country's trials at the time which still are thought of today. A slight comment by John Ehrlichman adds to not just take a "snippet" of conversation from the infamous tapes to form an opinion as Nixon is much too "paradoxically complex" and calls for a historian to sit and listen to everything taped to draw a conclusion. You can right here...
All in all, this is another of the great documentaries of this man and President that really shouldn't be missed.
