Documentary A glimpse into infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci who has led the U.S. fight against every epidemic the country has faced from AIDS to SARS to Ebola, and the ongoing COVID-19. Directors John Hoffman and Janet Tobias started work on this documentary before COVID was known to exist, having had the idea that Fauci was a fascinating figure just for his role in the AIDS crisis in the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s.

	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Fauci' has an actual structural focus that’s smartly considered and interesting, even if it left me with myriad questions."
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Between Daniel Hart’s self-consciously stirring score and the collection of supporters the filmmakers put on camera, the documentary can feel a bit like a promotional campaign to bolster the doctor’s image."
		Chris Willman Variety	"It’s a documentary that merits a place in classrooms as well as theaters, as a preventative against the virus of cynicism."
		Ronda Racha Penrice The Wrap	"[It] feels incredibly current and necessary (...) Regardless of your political leanings or affiliations, 'Fauci' is an education on what civil service looks like"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A fittingly sober and unflashy biodoc that’s far less engaging as a portrait of a public servant (...) than it is as a testament to the values he’s embodied"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is a celebratory film, and it’s easy to agree with its praise for Fauci’s intellectual heroism (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
