A portrait of Seymour Hersh, the investigative political journalist who rose to prominence with his revelations about the My Lai Massacre, in which American soldiers were ordered by superiors to execute hundreds of unarmed villagers. He also played a key journalistic role in Watergate and Abu Ghraib, but occasionally missed the mark. Poitras approached Hersh for a portrait 20 years ago, but given the pressure the Trump II administration is exerting on journalism, the timing couldn't have been better. The links between the US from the late 1960s to 2025 are brought into sharp focus, and the idiosyncratic, suspicious Hersh is a fascinating personality and an incorrigible sleuth. A must-read for anyone with journalistic ambitions.

An entertaining but unfortunately rather disjointed documentary about journalist Seymour Hersh, who has been at the forefront of political journalism in the United States for sixty years. Hersh is a fascinating, charismatic individual, and his career has seen dizzying highlights, so many that the documentary's running time is practically insufficient. He himself and the plethora of topics are somewhat neglected as a result. The filmmakers could have made it into a whole series.
