Nothing in politics today would look quite the same had reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein not cracked the Watergate scandal. This insightful documentary, directed by Robert Redford, gathers the drama’s hunters and its hunted as it retells the story of the 1972 break-in and cover-up that led to President Richard Nixon’s resignation. Redford and his All the President’s Men co-star Dustin Hoffman join a strong lineup of commentators, including the actors’ real-life counterparts and former Nixon men John Dean and Hugh Sloan. Sunday, April 21, at 8 p.m., Discovery
