A political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Urgent and deeply reported, it is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence, revealing a cycle of impunity in the US military and intelligence agencies. Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, this new film, co-directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, captures the power and process of investigative journalism.
