Promotional picture for the documentary. It's a picture of Hersh in his 30s, I think, with his feet up on a desk, a phone to his ear. He's wearing a white shirt, dark tie and even darker trousers with dark rimmed glasses. The photo is in black and white, so it's hard to know about colours. At a guess I'd say brown tie and trousers because it looks like it's the early 1970s. At the top, in red, is the title of the documentary, Cover-Up, in block caps. The names of the directors, Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus, are underneath.
A photograph of Hersh sitting at a desk with all his notes on yellow lined A4 notepads in front of him. There are also typed notes or letters on white paper and he has one of them in his hand. He's older in this photograph, maybe late 50s, so I'd say it's taken in the 1990s. The chair he's sitting on is aubergine purple and the wall behind him is magnolia. There are scrapes from the back of the chair on the wall, where it's been pushed back with force. He's looking right at the camera. He's wearing a grey shirt and a black jumper with rectangular spectacles, but with a very thin or almost not visible frame, which is also quite 1990s. He seems to have his feet on the desk in this picture too.
Cover-Up (2025). Now I want to read all Seymour Hersh's books! Fascinating documentary about the man, the stories he broke, and how he's perceived. I have such respect for someone who lets the world know when there's a story behind the story #DocSky #FilmSky
