Streaming on Netflix: "Cover up"

Film biography of Seymour Hersh.

Time well spent. From My Lai to Kissinger, Hersh is responsible for exposing many of the events that brought us to today's fascist government.

On the horrible things this country has done. What I particularly liked about this film, though, was that it focused on how psychologically difficult it was for Seymour Hersh to do these stories:

My Lai massacre

Watergate

Secret U.S. bombing of Cambodia

CIA doing domestic spying

Abu Ghraib

Alternative account of special forces raid that killed bin Laden

It would do serious things to your mind about this country after investigating all this in depth. Not only the investigation work, but having to face so many people who would rather not know it.
