From the movie I got to learn the process that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein went through to uncover the mysteries of the Watergate Scandal.

"Watergate Scandal": History.com This is where I did my initial research on Watergate before watching the movie so that I would have a better understanding of what was going on.

Guest List: 1. Bob Woodward: I am inviting Bob Woodward because I think he offers a unique perspective and I anticipate that he has an endless amount of questions to ask those who were involved with Watergate. 2. Carl Bernstein: Similar to Bob, Carl Bernstein is invited because he and Bob wrote a book also titles, All the President's Men, and I think he will give the lock-in an interesting perspective because he originally wanted on the story and basically stole it from Bob when rewrote Bob's pages at the beginning of the investigation. 3. Richard Nixon: I invited Richard Nixon because I think that he would offer his own perspective on the scandal and his attempts to cover it up despite what he told the media at the time.
