The inside story of the most watched and one of the most important political interviews of all time. Frost conducted a titanic battle of wits over 28 hours with disgraced Former President Richard Nixon, speaking for the first time since the humiliation of his resignation over the Watergate scandal. The episode includes unseen footage, contributions from Nixon insiders Frank Gannon and Ken Khachigian, Frost's inner circle, film director Ron Howard and actor Michael Sheen.  

Frost's first Middle East interview was in his 20s with Moshe Dayan in 1968 after the Six Day War, his last was with President Shimon Peres in 2012 shortly before he died. In between he interviewed Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Benjamin Netanyahu multiple times, and Western leaders about the topic too. Two of them - Tony Blair and Bill Clinton - contribute to the episode to reflect upon Frost's skill as an interviewer, and his unique ability to bring both sides together.
