Cover Up

Co-directed by the filmmaker behind CITIZEN FOUR  & ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED, this new documentary traces the work of legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, whose dogged reporting exposed cover-ups from My Lai to Abu Ghraib.  Like a true to life political thriller tracing the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh – urgent and deeply reported!   Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence and the cycles 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, Cover-Up captures the power and process of investigative journalism.
