A docudrama built from newly uncovered archival evidence that reveals how the Watergate prosecutions were shaped by secret meetings, suppressed memos, and a pattern of government overreach that shattered the rule of law. More than 50 years after the resignation of President Richard Nixon,” Watergate Secrets and Betrayals” unveils the hidden, secret documents behind America’s most infamous political scandal.

Narrated by actor John O’Hurley and based on the groundbreaking research of former White House lawyer Geoff Shepard, this documentary is set to change everything we were told about Watergate.

Irrefutable evidence is presented, connecting the dots between the three branches of government and the scandal that shattered Nixon’s landslide re-election, forced his resignation, and led to the downfall of at least twenty members of his administration.

This film features incisive analyses from Judge Andrew Napolitano and other esteemed judges and law professors, meticulously revealing how a conspiracy was orchestrated to unseat President Richard Nixon. This was the birth of Lawfare.

Every American must see this—how Watergate judges and prosecutors abused their power to bring down a president. Only by understanding what they did can we prevent this from happening again.

Country of Filming: United States

Language: English

Runtime: 1 hour 40 minutes

Film Description:

What if we told you America is killing us…would you help?
When more than half of Black adults have experienced mistreatment at the hands of a doctor, and a quarter avoid seeking care altogether, the healthcare system isn’t failing Black America by accident. Diagnosing Healthcare traces that failure from its roots: from the Tuskegee syphilis study, where 128 men were denied a cure while the government watched them die, to J. Marion Sims operating on enslaved young women without anesthesia. In the present, Black women die in childbirth at three to four times the rate of white women and Black infants die at rates 95% above the national average.
Through the voices of patients, physicians, and advocates, this film confronts our mistreatment, our mistrust, and our Black fatigue. It calls us forward. Through the journey of Sankofa, we build our village. Through our village, we rebuild our systems.

Runtime: 14 minutes 14 seconds

Film Description:

In a high-altitude town in Sichuan’s Aba, 14-year-old Zaxi practices daily under a makeshift hoop his father built from an
old door. A storm destroys this symbol of his dreams, prompting Zaxi and his 10-year-old brother to journey across the plateau to find a “perfect court.” They navigate yak herds, scale ancient structures, and try a hoop hanging from a tree, yet their ideal court remains elusive. Everything changes when Zaxi follows monks to a pristine concrete court hidden beneath a temple tower. Initially hesitant, Zaxi practices alone until dusk, when a group of maroon-robed monks arrives. A ball arcs toward the solitary boy; meeting the monks’ encouraging gaze, Zaxi—who usually keeps his head down—accepts this silent invitation. In a transformative game, sweat-drenched and lifted bodily by the laughing monks, Zaxi experiences his first slam dunk. Lying breathless, he realizes his blueprint for a “perfect court” is unnecessary. The true court is defined by the community willing to lift him skyward.
