'All The President's Men Revisited' A New TV Special On The Discovery Channel Sunday At 8 P.M.

This two hour film reunites Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Redford looking back at the Watergate scandal.

If you hadn't lived through the Watergate scandal, chances are you've studied it in school, read the book (All The President's Men), or even saw the 1976 film that starred Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman.  This Sunday the Discovery Channel reunites the two journalists and the actors who portrayed them for a look back at this momentous time in our history.

Discovery Channel and award-winning actor/director Robert Redford present a landmark television event looking back at Watergate - the original game changer of American politics. Mr. Redford, who served as producer of the iconic 1976 film All the President's Men, brought the story of Watergate to the screen with authenticity, power and precise detail while doing justice to a seminal chapter in American history. More than 40 years after a bungled burglary brought a beleaguered presidency down and the term "Watergate" into the national lexicon, Mr. Redford returns to the scandal that broke all the rules of press and politics, brought down a President and forever changed the country.

In June 1972, a break-in occurred at the Democratic National Committee's Watergate offices, which was traced back to President Richard Nixon's Committee for the Re-Election of the President. The event resulted in President Nixon's resignation, the only Presidential resignation in American history.  Mr. Woodward and Carl Bernstein, colleagues at The Washington Post, uncovered the story after doggedly investigating the scandal and exposing a long, twisted trail of cover-ups and lies. 2013 marks 40 years since 1973 - Watergate's most pivotal year, and the year Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Woodward earned a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting.
