COVER-UP

Directed by Laura Poitras (Citizenfour) and Mark Obenhaus (Steep), Cover-Up offers an unflinching look at the career of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh. Through a meticulous examination of Hersh’s investigative work—spanning the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and beyond—the film explores systemic deceptions perpetuated by the US military and intelligence agencies. Featuring Hersh’s reflections and a wealth of archival materials, Cover-Up serves as both personal memoir and critical analysis of institutional accountability.
