Fauci

My regards to the video and sound people, top notch work. However 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?

This is an important film, because the main subject is in some ways, NOT Dr. Anthony Fauci, but the concept of, and the acceptance of, science.

This doc includes a large part of the HIV/AIDS controversy, and Dr. Fauci's part in bringing it into the daynight for inspection. Coincidentally enough, this quote is from that era:

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'." -Isaac Asimov, January 21, 1980.

Go see this film, and make your own judgements. It is well-made, and important!

I'd have to say based on the other reviews I've read that are low, I doubt many even watched past the trailer. This is not a political documentary, it is a humanitarian one.

This documentary is good. To be fair, it is sympathetic towards Dr. Fauci, but in my opinion, it isn't overly sympathetic towards him. It spends more time on the HIV/AIDS epidemic than the Covid-19 pandemic. And does not spend a lot of time bashing any political person. It discusses the disagreements between todays politics, but does not drag on about them.

It was well made, features lots of old footage from the AIDS epidemic, as well as public figures that discuss the topics.

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.

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!
