‘Fauci’ Is A Compelling Exploration Of The Influential Pandemic-Era Doctor [Telluride Review]
As its short declarative title implies, Janet Tobias and John Hoffman’s documentary “Fauci” is single-minded in its pursuit of exploring and humanizing the now (in)famous director of the National Institutes of Health. Wisely avoiding the uncritical coronation of Fauci that rippled through the media in the past year, Tobias and Hoffman, instead, present a complex and humane figure entrenched in his chosen medical field, who was nevertheless embroiled in the heightened political discourse around COVID-19.
