Netflix debuted the official trailer for The Martha Mitchell Effect, the documentary profiling the Cabinet wife who spoke out during Watergate — and the Nixon administration’s campaign to gaslight her into silence.
From directors Anne Alvergue and Debra McClutchy, the documentary premiered at Sundance Film Festival, and will be released on Netflix on June 17, 2022.
She was once as famous as Jackie O. And then she tried to take down a President. The Martha Mitchell Effect is an archival documentary portrait of the unlikeliest of whistleblowers: Martha Mitchell, a Republican cabinet wife who was gaslighted by the Nixon Administration to keep her quiet. It offers a female gaze on Watergate through the voice of the woman herself.
