The story of a man who touched history for a brief moment…
and was forgotten.
Watergate. The name conjures thoughts of intrigue, corruption, and shame. Names like Nixon, CIA, and Deepthroat.
But one name goes unrecognized. Frank Wills, the young security guard working that night, did what most security guards wouldn’t:
He actually went looking.
His actions changed the course of history and have hung over the most powerful nation in the world, and yet no one knows his name.
Our short film sets out to correct that. To go past the politics so we can see the most seminal event in this man’s life, the choices he made, and how it cost him…
It’s a film for those who think they know the history as much as those who don’t know anything about it. Black, white; Younger, older; Democrat, Republican; Everyone knows what it’s like to go unnoticed.
And yet for too long, Frank’s story has. Please help us change that.
