This documentary made mostly of archival footage tells the remarkable story of an unlauded heroine of the Watergate scandal. “Unguided missile” Martha Mitchell (wife of Richard Nixon’s attorney general, John) was a harsh and outspoken critic of the crooked president. She considered herself to be a diehard Republican who nonetheless was forced to become an unlikely whistleblower as the extent of Nixon’s “dirty tricks”, both during his 1972 campaign and beyond, came to light.
