Political drama

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2013)

This 1976 film by U.S. director Alan J. Pakula, awarded among others with the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay, was the very first movie of the sub genre of political drama.
This film shows what could be the greatest historical contribution of journalism to a modern democracy, the case "Watergate"... or the struggle between journalism and power. Nevertheless, it has been a long time since that glorious moment, things have changed, not always for better.
Its two protagonists, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, move us with their dizzying version of the events.
The audience will be able to think about the role of investigative journalism in the most decisive moments in the history of a nation.
