Respected documentary-maker Norma Percy has a well-deserved reputation for revealing the truth behind the biggest news events of modern times, specialising in securing in-depth interviews with key players who she has persuaded to open up on the reality of what happened. As a critic once wrote: '…every significant international story seems to have its Percy film.' \n\nHere, ahead of a rescreening of her acclaimed 1994 series Watergate, Norma looks back on her approach and the challenges she faced when piecing together in forensic detail the tale of the botched break-in that sent shock waves through America and the world, toppled a president, and fatally undermined society’s faith in the integrity of our political leaders. \n\nNorma explains how she managed to gain exclusive access to the figures who went from obscurity to notoriety thanks to their involvement in the Watergate scandal, and shares her feelings on why the series may still resonate with viewers today.
