Filmmakers Penny Lane and Brian Frye have started a Kickstarter fundraiser page for their film Our Nixon. The film is compiled from Super 8 films shot by Nixon’s White House Staff between 1969 and 1972. The collection was loaned to the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, blown up to 16mm and transferred to video. It is one of the great underutilized gems of American presidential history, so hopefully this project will rescue the films from obscurity.
