Cover-Up
Behind the scenes compilation about a storied journalist's greatest hits, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib and some other works on numerous crimes by the world's vilest and most manipulative criminal organization, the american government. Mass murders, assassinations of other countries' leaders, covert operations, espionage, torture, you name it. Too bad it sometimes misses the point when it's about to crack some of Sy's contradictions and most delicate topics -- the JFK book, the extensive use of anonymous sources -- or his personal views on how knowing so much disturbing stuff and getting so close to powerful and violent people affected him and then it just backs out and resumes its wikipedian narrative. Either way, strong film stressing the importance of professional and brave journalism.
