Ping Pong Diplomacy and Watergate Scandal in Forrest Gump



Before spring break, we discussed Nixon's portrayal in the media and the mention of ping pong diplomacy in the Schoen reading reminded me of this scene in Forrest Gump. There are a lot of great connections to the material we've looked at in class throughout the film but I really enjoyed these two clips of ping pong diplomacy and Forrest's connection to Watergate.
