Directed by Jacob Pahde:
The interview that sealed a president’s legacy. Adapted into the Oscar-nominated 2008 film starring Michael Sheen and Frank Langella, this searing political drama chronicles a pivotal moment in U.S. history. British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughing-stock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation's eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to outtalk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.
