Brilliant @netflix doc #CoverUp from #LauraPoitras & #MarkObenhaus on investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who exposed the My Lai massacre, torture at Abu Ghraib, and other shameful events. The public needs the press as a watchdog. @valeriekalfrin reviews: https://t.co/DxIHBrI9Nu

Mix of reality and dramatic reenactments, the @AWFJ #MovieOfTheWeek is #KaoutherBenHania’s intense #TheVoiceofHindRajab. Devastating @_willa_willa_ doc concerns a trapped Palestinian child, under fire, and the aid workers trying to rescue her. Reviews: https://t.co/7IlQvfLb79
