‘Our Nixon’ offers insider’s view of presidency BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Great footage is the key to any good documentary. It’s impossible to make historical films without it. That’s why “Civil War” filmmaker Ken Burns turned to his pan-andscan method of getting “motion” out of still photographs — and why so many terrible reality docudramas rely on reenactments. The makers of “Our Nixon” (9 p.m., CNN) stumbled upon a goldmine of unseen movies. White House advisers H.R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Dwight Chapin were home movie buffs, and documented everything — from Easter egg hunts on the White House lawn to Nixon’s historic trip to China — with their Super 8 cameras. The FBI seized these films during the Watergate investigation and the spools have languished, largely unseen, for four decades. Filmmakers Penny Lane and Brian L. Frye combine the color footage with black-andwhite news reports and audio files from Nixon’s infamous taping system to offer an insider’s view of his presidency, from the triumph of Apollo 11 to the negotiated settlement of the Vietnam War to the enduring Watergate scandal. The combination of secretly taped conversations and friendly little home movies fre-
quently proves hypnotic. News footage often feels like an intrusion on this odd reverie. It doesn’t help matters that events and statements often appear out of sync. Footage and audio related to Nixon’s “Silent Majority” speech from 1969 is juxtaposed with statements from the president as well as antiwar veteran (and current secretary of state) John Kerry from 1971. While careless, these mistakes are not fatal. “Our Nixon” does not claim to be an authoritative history. It’s best appreciated as a celebration of found footage shot on a bygone film stock. These young filmmakers are intoxicated by the power of the homely little Super 8’s, a technology rendered antique by home video cameras. They are not alone in embracing the obsolete. Just this month, a film called “Computer Chess” was released. It was shot entirely on a 40-yearold Sony video camera to give the film a “historical” look. • “Hatfields and McCoys: White Lightning” (10 p.m., History, TV-14) follows descendants of the feuding families as they attempt to reconcile in order to help market a strong alcoholic beverage bearing their names. Don’t confuse this with the miniseries from 2012. For years, many networks have avoided liquor advertising. For all of its backwoods shenanigans, this series is es-
sentially a product placement for hooch.
