Frost/Nixon is a political documentary about the feelings, emotions, and aftermath of the Frost and Nixon interviews. The intended audience is the adults and individuals that were/are interested in Nixon and the scandals surrounding his famous presidency. Frost/Nixon takes place during Nixon’s reassignment from presidency and roughly two years after.

He obtains the interview and prepares for it vigorously but also has to fundraise over 600,000 dollars in order to pay for the interview alone, not including the media coverage and all the other supplies. Nixon and his team create a legal agreement that states the regulations of the interview and the allowed time to talk about each subject, which is repeatedly broken through out the interview. The breaches in contract lead to the final confession from Nixon.
You are taken on a journey through Sir David Frost’s pursuit and extraordinary story of his emotional, controversial, and cutthroat interviews with Richard Nixon.
