NEW VIDEO--Coup 53 & All the President's Men
🕑 Added 2021-04-22 02:44:37 +0000 UTCEDIT: Updated with final version of the video, which includes another minute or two of narration toward the end. Also, the full interview with Taghi and Walter will go public on May 4th, but I'll post it here later today in a patron-only post so you all get early access :)
Hey all!
I'm extra excited about this video because I got to interview the filmmakers, Taghi Amirani (director/writer) and Walter Murch (legendary editor who worked on The Godfather, THS-1138, Return to Oz and so much more!) This video is pretty complex and covers a lot of ground, so if anything is confusing or overwhelming please let me know and I'll try to clarify stuff for the final edit. This version is pretty much done (just some sound editing and color correction to do, plus recording the outro voiceover). The final version of this video will go public next Tuesday, April 27th.
ALSO, Taghi was kind enough to give me a special discount link for Coup 53 so you can see it for 50% off the usual price. You don't needto have seen Coup 53 to watch this video, but I definitely recommend it. Plus, it's just an AMAZING documentary. One of the best I've ever seen. Here's the discount link: https://watch.eventive.org/coup53-us/play/607f656c212e7500a8f15ebd (This discount link will work in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Brazil and Mexico.)
And here's a trailer for Coup 53 if you wanna check that out first: https://youtu.be/4Bf2CB45ndo
I'm assuming everyone's at least familiar with All the President's Men in passing lol
I will be releasing the FULL interview with Taghi and Walter (it's like 80 minutes). It'll be public on YouTube on May 4th, but I should be able to post an unlisted version here on Patreon as a special early bonus, probably on April 27th.
I hope you enjoy this one! Sorry it involves looking at Richard Nixon so much!!! Thank you so much for your support!
PS I'm not officially affiliated with Coup 53, and I don't profit from you paying to see it. I'm just a fan! :)

This is SO GOOD Maggie. Thank you for introducing me to this fascinating documentary and for your insightful analysis. I suddenly have a strong urge to watch All The President's Men again...
You are most welcome! I admire your courage and wish you the best!

I love Adam Curtis! thank you for the kind owrds Juhani!!
Very impressive! Seems you are moving to the big leagues with this video, with Adam Curtis and alike as competitors. What else can I say than may the force be with you and all the angels too! I really wish you well! Global politics is a very challenging area. With a critical view you are not going to have a large audience in the U.S. and the rest of the world is going to be a small audience for you.

Haven't seen either, but that's never stopped me from enjoying these videos in the past! haha

I guessed right! It was Walter Murch.
