The Newspaperman: The Life and Times of Ben Bradlee plot
"The man who took on the White House"
He is sometimes called the "most dangerous editor" in the country. The Washington Post's executive editor Ben Bradlee was largely credited with bringing down President Richard Nixon in 1974, after the Post released the Watergate story and exposed the largest political scandal in American history. Told largely in his own words, the documentary is an intimate portrait of this formidable man and his remarkable career from a Boston boy stricken with polio to one of the most pioneering and consistent journalistic figures of the 20th century.
