The Martha Mitchell Effect' Poster
She was once as famous as Jackie O—and then she tried to take down a President. Martha Mitchell was the unlikeliest of whistleblowers: a Republican wife who was discredited by Nixon to keep her quiet. Until now.

To my embarrassment, I must confess that before watching this short documentary, I knew nothing about Watergate whistleblower Martha Mitchell. In that sense, the film is a success, if only because I am now more knowledgeable in this regard. The documentary is also well-executed, with original footage, audio recordings, and interviews expertly put together. In the end, I definitely wanted to know more about Mitchell as a person as well as her role in the Watergate scandal. That's also my only real major criticism of the film: that it's too short. A feature-length treatment of the subject would have been appropriate.

Excellent! This film is so well crafted, using only footage (audio and video) from the era to paint a telling picture of who and what Margaret Mitchell was. It’s just long enough to tell us all we really need to know about her and the context. Another aspect that resonated with me: the archival footage of news anchors like John Chancellor, Howard K. Smith, Dan Rather, from the days when one could rely on TV News to inform the public in an objective and factual way. What we have lost since those days!
