Cover-Up

Fresh off the heels of screenings at the Venice, Telluride, and Toronto International film festivals, we’re delighted to bring to present Cover-Up, a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh.

Urgent and deeply reported, the documentary is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence – revealing a cycle of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, the film captures the power and process of investigative journalism.

Co-directed by Academy Award and Golden Lion winner Laura Poitras, whose All the Beauty and the Bloodshed screened at the 2022 Miami Film Festival GEMS, and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Mark Obenhaus, Cover-Up is essential viewing.
