Must See Doc Trailer for 'Cover-Up' About Journalist Seymour Hersh

"It's complicated to know who to trust... You know, I barely trust you guys." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film called Cover-Up, the latest feature made by award-winning doc filmmaker Laura Poitras (of Citizenfour, All The Beauty And The Bloodshed). This time she teams up with fellow doc filmmaker Mark Obenhaus to make a visceral tribute to a fearless, tenacious journalist named Seymour Hersh aka Sy Hersh. It first premiered at the 2025 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals with stops at TIFF, NYFF, Vancouver, London and many others. Hersh has been at the front lines of political journalism in the United States. His breakthrough reportage has brought to the public's attention many of the most damning constitutional wrongdoings and cover-ups. He dares to report the truth, reveal the facts, and follow leads when no one else will. He ventures into places he shouldn't, he challenges powerful people – in politics and in journalism. This is such an inspiring, moving, and fascinating look at his life and his reporting. I'm glad I had a chance to watch this at the Venice Film Festival because it's fantastic and vitally important. Not just another tribute to journalists, also a look at how dangerous the job is. Out on Netflix in December to watch. // Continue Reading ›
