About Enemies: The President, Justice & the FBI

"Enemies: The President, Justice & the FBI" is an enthralling four-part documentary series that debuted in 2018. This series, directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, explores the complex history of clashes between the President and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The series underscores times when Presidents have tested the boundaries of the rule of law and the ensuing impact on the FBI, whose role it is to enforce this law.

Each episode dissects various confrontations of historic value - from the tumultuous era of Nixon and Hoover to the contemporary duel between Trump and Comey. While each duel sheds light on different aspects of our democratic system and the law, the series also adeptly uses current events as a prism to reflect on previous lessons learned, those ignored, and speculates on the outcome of the ongoing investigation into the Trump administration.
