5 FILMS RELATED WITH JOURNALISM




Citizen Kane, Orson Welles (1941): EE.UU. Drama, cult movie: Citizen Kane is Orson Welles's greatest achievement -- and a landmark of cinema history. The story charts the rise and fall of a newpaper publisher whose wealth and power ultimately isolates him in his castle like refuge.

A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.                         TRAILER
