Fauci

This was a very uncomfortable sort of watch.

It seems an odd time to be telling the life story of a man like Fauci, mainly because he is still in the midst of some of the most important events in his life. It's like a Churchill documentary being made during WW2. Not really wrong, just incomplete and perhaps inappropriate timing.

My discomfort with this film really rests in some of the interview choices. Lots of appealing to authority. This film picks its interviews the same way I pick references for my resume: with great caution. The difference being that all parties involved know that a job applicant is meant to sell themselves. Anthony Fauci is without doubt an fascinating and worthy person to be the subject of a biography, so why do I feel like I'm being sold something here?

My regards to the video and sound people, top notch work. However this was a very uncomfortable sort of watch.

So just got done watching this frustrating doc, It seems like a puff piece paid for by fauci himself. Its full of softball questions that attempt to put him on the "right" side of history in every case. Only meteorologists are wrong more often and get away with it.. and in this case celebrated. I would have appreciated it much more if some negative thing were discussed more and not just glossed over.

I very much liked this movie for two reasons: 1) It's a useful and evenhanded documentary of one of the leading Public Health experts in the world and, because of that, very much worth watching if you have an interest in Fauci, epidemiology, or public health. Well paced, interesting, and informative.

And;

2) The long list of sad, triggered keyboard warriors that couldn't help but give 1 star "reviews" of this title (ironically showing they hadn't bothered watching it) that amount to mass-screaming "Dunning-Kruger!!" into the void because their fee-fees were hurt.

Good documentaries with a delicious dessert of willfully ignorant tears is just the best.

The. Best.

This excellent documentary is unlikely to quiet the hate propaganda and misinformation we've seen directed toward Dr. Fauci and his family. It does a great job, however, at exposing the facts of his long public service to the health of our country. This film reveals his un-biased public service to the country regardless of which political parties sit in the oval office or dominate U. S. Congress. An interesting and well-done glimpse into the many challenges ALL public health agencies across the globe have faced for decades. (If we could develop vaccines for ignorance & snap judgments, public health would also be improved!) This film reminds us how much we (all humans) need true public servants like Dr. Fauci to protect us from political gamesmanship & ulterior motives. Great vintage footage, interviews, pacing & lighting -- easy to watch & I wanted to know more when it was finished!
