Having debuted at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, the movie\u2014co-directed by a fellow Cornellian, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0388968\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">veteran documentarian John Hoffman \u201981<\/a>\u2014is streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film follows Fauci\u2014the now-81-year-old director of the NIH\u2019s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases\u2014through several grueling months of mid-2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic is taking hold in the U.S. and tensions with the Trump Administration are rising. It culminates that December, as a COVID vaccine is approved in record time\u2014and Fauci demonstrates his confidence in it by getting his first shot in front of news cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s a documentary that merits a place in classrooms as well as theaters,&#8221; <em>Variety<\/em> says in a review, &#8220;as a preventative against the virus of cynicism.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NBEau86jZjI\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The film opens with the physician-scientist leaving for work, accompanied by his security detail\u2014vivid proof of how polarizing a figure he has already become. As some megafans are buying Fauci bobbleheads and devotional candles that depict him as a haloed saint, detractors are excoriating him in the media and even threatening him and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe should be fired, indicted, and thrown in jail\u2014and it\u2019s time we have a revolution in this country,\u201d the anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist Shiva Ayyadurai says in a sound bite captured in the film, played over footage of Fauci at his desk. That segues into another from right-wing political strategist Steve Bannon: \u201cI\u2019d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I\u2019d put the heads on pikes as a warning to federal bureaucrats\u2014either get with the program, or you\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film goes on to follow its subject through some seminal events of the pandemic\u2019s early months\u2014including, as Hoffman puts it, \u201cthe first time Dr. Fauci stepped forward to the podium and contradicted the president,\u201d in response to a reporter\u2019s question about the efficacy of the drug hydroxychloroquine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it also offers a more intimate portrait, showing him at home with his wife of nearly four decades, the medical ethicist and nurse Christine Grady, and features insights from one of their three adult daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-style-offset\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of John Hoffman\" class=\"wp-image-6523 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-632x790.jpg 632w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-316x395.jpg 316w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-280x350.jpg 280w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-140x175.jpg 140w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-70x87.jpg 70w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A-100x125.jpg 100w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/JH-photo-A.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Filmmaker John Hoffman <em>(Photo by National Geographic\/Visko Hatfield)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt that people who view the film with an open mind will come away from it having tremendous respect for Dr. Fauci\u2019s dedication to service, his intelligence as a scientist, and his compassion as a doctor,\u201d says Hoffman, a six-time Emmy winner, \u201cand they\u2019ll understand him to be the humanist that he is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conducting research for the film, Hoffman and colleagues parsed untold hours of video chronicling Fauci\u2019s past public health efforts, particularly the pandemic that made him a household name: the global HIV\/AIDS crisis of the 1980s and \u201990s.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fauci<\/em> delves into those fraught, terrifying years, when a positive HIV test seemed tantamount to a death sentence, and activists in the gay community\u2014which was being devastated and further marginalized by the disease\u2014organized and protested to demand access to experimental drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the filmmakers (Hoffman\u2019s co-director is Emmy and Peabody winner Janet Tobias) made the intriguing, revelatory choice to juxtapose the two public health crises, and Fauci\u2019s role in them.
