Cover-Up
For the past six decades, Seymour Hersh has been at the front lines of political journalism in the United States. Hersh has made a name investigating the types of stories that are among the hardest to report: those that some of the most powerful people in the world want to remain hidden. The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist has exposed some of the most unconscionable events that were covered up by the US government, including the My Lai massacre of women, children, and the elderly during the Vietnam War, and the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. This arresting documentary, released at a crucial moment for the freedom of the press, tells the wide-ranging story of this breakthrough reporter. Directed by Academy Award winner Laura Poitras (<i>CITIZENFOUR</i>) and Emmy Award winner Mark Obenhaus (<i>Steep</i>), <i>Cover-Up</i> depicts Hersh’s half-century of reporting and exposing what Hersh believes is a pattern of impunity within the US military and intelligence agencies, told through stacks of Hersh’s own meticulous notes, primary documents, and archival footage. The film also documents Hersh coming to terms with making himself the subject of a story after years of professional collaboration with Poitras and Obenhaus.DocumentaryPT1H57M152025-12-19Seymour Hersh
