درباره این فیلم

Mark Felt - The Man Who Brought Down the White House centers on the true story of “Deep Throat”, the notorious whistleblower for one of the greatest scandals of all time, Watergate. The true identity of the secret informant remained a mystery and source of much speculation for over 30 years. Until, in 2005, special agent Mark Felt shockingly revealed himself as the tipster. This powerful true story chronicles the life of the brilliant and uncompromising Felt, who sacrificed everything – his family, his career, his freedom – in the name of justice.

Covers important points about Watergate and the autonomy of the FBI, and Nixon trying to make the FBI his lapdog. However the movie doesn't address the terrible abuse of power by the FBI during Watergate, and the fact that Mark Felt clearly authorized those abuses as the number 2 man under the Director Patrick Gray. Felt was furious at Nixon for not appointing him Director.

Gives you an insight to what is happening today almost in parallel terms. Hope we have a "Mark Felt" that has a conscience and understands what it means for America going forward. Must see !!!!!
