Reel Journalism With Nick Clooney Presents 'All the President's Men' March 16 With Panelists, Carl Bernstein and Leonard Downie Jr.

WHAT: "All the President's Men" will be the fourth and final film in the Reel Journalism winter series. Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, while investigating the 1972 Watergate break-in, follow a trail of deception that leads them all the way to the Nixon White House, and ultimately to the president's resignation. Nearly 40 years later, Bernstein, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and Leonard Downie Jr., who was the Post's metro desk editor in 1972 and later executive editor, will share their perspectives on the film. The live panel discussion will be moderated by Nick Clooney, a Distinguished Journalist in Residence at American University and the Newseum.
