Nixon once said that if it hadn't been for Martha, Watergate would never have happened. The archival documentary tells the story of Martha Mitchell, the first whistle of Watergate: in order to shut up Martha, the Nixon administration manipulated gas lights in external propaganda, portraying her as a crazy woman. Through these historical archives, we can re-examine the Watergate incident from Martha's female perspective.
