With his signature blend of scientific acumen, candor and integrity, Dr. Anthony Fauci became America's most unlikely cultural icon during COVID-19. A world-renowned infectious disease specialist and the longest-serving public health leader in Washington, D.C., he has valiantly overseen the U.S. response to 50 years' worth of epidemics, including HIV/AIDS, SARS and Ebola. FAUCI is an unprecedented portrait of one of our most vital public servants, whose work saved millions while he faced threats from anonymous adversaries. Directed by Emmy winners John Hoffman (The Weight of the Nation, Sleepless in America) and Janet Tobias (Unseen Enemy), the film is executive produced by Academy Award winner Dan Cogan (Icarus) and two-time Academy Award nominee Liz Garbus (What Happened, Miss Simone?, The Farm: Angola, USA). The documentary features insights from President George W. Bush, Bill Gates, Bono, former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Burwell, former national security advisor Susan Rice, National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins, former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Tom Frieden and key AIDS activists, plus Dr. Fauci's family, friends and former patients.

Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune If the goal was to humanize the 80-year-old talking head, filmmakers John Hoffman and Janet Tobias have succeeded. Oct 7, 2021 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com Fauci makes no pretense about where its sentiments lie, lauding a figure whose critics have seemingly twisted his image beyond recognition in their attempts to demonize him. Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Very very interesting, and Fauci comes out as an honest and fascinating character. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review John Paul King Washington Blade An impressive piece of cinematic journalism. May 19, 2022 Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost Too one-sided to be taken seriously... Nov 15, 2021 Full Review Jordan Ruimy World of Reel This was a rather standard doc, plainly told. There was nothing especially appealing about the whole thing; Hoffman, and Tobias basically fawn all over their subject for 90 minutes. Oct 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
