The Assassination of Richard Nixon. Directed by Niels Mueller. On 22 Feb 1974 a middle class American man, a husband and a father, hatched a plot to fly a passenger jet into the Whitehouse to wipe out Richard Nixon. On 8 April 2005, Sean Penn brought this man, Sam Bicke, to life in Niels Mueller’s film. For the UK release, we placed this story in the wider context of modern US history, allowing the viewer to build their own picture of the time.

Our unique interface delivers a wide calendar of events across 80 years. From patriotism and self-help in the multi-level societies of the 40’s and 50’s through the Nixon years and the loss of innocence right up to 9/11 and on to the film’s release. To support the website and drive traffic to the viral we also designed our own little red books – full of pertinant self-help tips and the ramblings of Sam himself.

The site won an FWA and Creative Showcase awards, the book got a journalist arrested on the tube. We’re not sure which is cooler.
