ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN (1976)
We watched this one with my wife, a former journalist who also taught college journalism and made every class watch this film. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star as reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The two are dogged in their pursuit of the truth. They were dismissed, mocked and threatened, but they followed the story wherever it led, which was to the downfall of a corrupt president. In a time when our country’s leadership is calling journalists “the enemy of the people,” it is good to watch reporters so dedicated to their profession.
