“Cover-Up” is a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. “Cover-Up” 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, “Cover-Up” captures the power and process of investigative journalism.
This film will be screened by Zoom on Thursday, April 16th at 7 p.m. Editor Amy Foote, producer Yoni Golijov and co-producer Nora Wilkinson will be present for a Q+A after the screening.
