The Seventies and Watergate
1970s documentary retrospectives are
more popular than ever, and WPA has
the perfect shots on the subject,
thanks to a newly acquired
collection from that fascinating
decade. Aside from B-roll of 1970s
fashions, travel, health and
science, WPA offers footage of
important events and personalities
from the 1970s, such as the
construction of the Sears Tower in
Chicago and the World Trade Center
in New York, along with
personalities like Rudi Gernreich
(the inventor of the topless bathing
suit!) and Dr. Margaret Mead.
Whether you need shots of afros and
bellbottoms or 1970s robots and
medical equipment, place a request
for free research with WPA and look
forward to some amazing footage.

As you may know, WPA is your premier
stock footage source for one
defining event of the 1970s:
Watergate. 2003 and 2004 mark
the 30th anniversary of these
turbulent and often shocking
hearings everyone watched on
television night after night. As the
exclusive representative for
Washington D.C.'s WETA Archives, WPA
is proud to offer the complete
Watergate hearings as they were
taped by WETA's official camera in
the courtroom. WPA has transferred
the entire collection and logged
each hearing in great detail. |

And last but not least, a very different
film, the original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, is turning 30 next year.
Clip rights for the 1974 cult classic
are represented through WPA.
