Documentary Feature | USA | 2025 | English | 117 minutes
In this timely and revelatory political thriller, Academy Award® winner Laura Poitras (ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED, HIFF 2023) and Emmy Award® winner Mark Obenhaus trace 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 that reveals a cycle of impunity in U.S. military and intelligence agencies across decades. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes and interweaving primary documents and archival footage with intimate firsthand interviews, Poitras and Obenhaus capture the intensive process and essential power of investigative journalism.
