Netflix has unveiled the official trailer and poster for their upcoming documentary COVER-UP, which will launch in US theaters in limited release on December 5th, 2025, before debuting on Netflix on December 26th, 2025. The film world premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival.
Cover-Up is produced and directed by Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus.
The film is a political thriller that traces the explosive career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Urgent and deeply reported, Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence — revealing a cycle of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.
Drawing on exclusive access to Hersh’s notes, and interweaving primary documents and archival footage, Cover-Up captures the power and process of investigative journalism.
