Within YouTube there are a couple of great documentaries on Watergate. My favorite is one produced by the BBC (link below), which includes interviews and excerpts from many of the key moments and players in Watergate. The documentary is about 2-3 hrs in length and is definitely not recommended for slow data connections or anyone on data capped internet.

You can also view the following:

Excerpts from Sen Sam Ervin's (Watergate Committee Chairman) opening remarks to the Watergate committee
Excerpts from John Dean's testimony
Testimony to the committee by John Ehrlichman
Archibald Cox news conference that prompted the Saturday Night Massacre
Excerpts from Barbara Jordan and others
Closing statements prior to the vote to forward Articles of Impeachment to the House floor
