Saturday film: All the President's Men

Today, we are watching another Academy Award-winning film, All the President's Men.
The 1976 film follows Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's reporting in the early days of the Watergate investigation, which ultimately led to President Richard Nixon's resignation from office.
The Washington Post has called the film "journalism's finest 2 hours and 16 minutes."
The film raises a slew of journalistic questions and introduces many concepts about journalism, such as quoting sources on deep background.
