Cover-Up – Watch the trailer for the new documentary from Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus

Cover-Up. Seymour Hersh in the Washington Bureau Personnel in 1975. Cr. The New York Times

Cover-Up is a political thriller that traces 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 — 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.
