From Academy Award® winning director Laura Poitras (All the Beauty and The Bloodshed, Citizenfour) and Emmy Award-winning director Mark Obenhaus, COVER-UP is a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, whose work has at once been widely celebrated, hotly debated, and also criticized throughout his 65+ year career. Urgent and deeply reported, the film is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence—revealing a cycle of impunity within the U.S. military and intelligence agencies and covering Hersh’s reporting from the My Lai massacre to Abu Ghraib. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, COVER-UP captures the incredible power and process of investigative journalism.
