Who is the multi-dimensional man within the white lab coat?
National Geographic Documentary Films presents FAUCI, a revealing portrait of Dr. Anthony Fauci, a public servant, scientist, physician, husband and father whose career spans seven presidents and is bounded by the two great pandemics of our times: HIV/AIDS, which shaped him, and COVID-19, which has tested him beyond all expectations.
With his signature blend of scientific acumen, candor and integrity, Dr. Fauci became America’s most unlikely cultural icon during the COVID-19 pandemic. A world-renowned infectious disease specialist and the longest-serving public health leader in Washington, D.C., he has overseen the U.S. response to 40 years’ worth of outbreaks, including HIV/AIDS, SARS, Ebola and now Covid-19.
MORE THAN A BIOGRAPHY… Beyond profiling the title character, this film provides an important historical perspective on the greatest public health crises we’ve faced in modern times — and the ways that government and the scientific community prepares for – and sometimes fails – when addressing critical issues.
Underway before the arrival of Covid-19, Emmy winning documentarians John Hoffman and Janet Tobias paused FAUCI when the pandemic took hold. The delay was serendipitous, as events – and a new chapter in Fauci’s life – unfolded. Already having Dr. Fauci’s participation and exclusive access, over the ensuing months the team was able to gather additional material and cautiously complete production.
Consistent with the CWC mission, presentation of this documentary film is offered as a public service and CWC does not endorse any ideology, political party or faction. National Geographic states that Dr. Fauci received zero compensation and has no financial interest in the film going forward.
POST-FILM DISCUSSION. The Covid-19 vaccines we have now did not magically appear. In 1960, the corona virus was identified as a cause of the common cold. Circa 2002, a more complex and virulent corona virus was identified, leading to decades of worldwide research by thousands of scientists, and a knowledge base for tracking and treatment of evolving forms – SARS, MERS, COVID-19, etc.
In addition to covering the film, we’ll talk about the history of epidemics and consider what we face in the future in terms of pandemic and endemic situations.

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY
In the film we gain an inside look at Anthony Fauci’s upbringing, family life and personality, as well as the career of the public servant who has advised seven U.S. presidents (4 R, 3 D), beginning with the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s through SARS, Ebola and now Covid-19.
The dark early years of HIV/AIDS forged his character, while COVID-19 tested it. As the face of science in our contemporary society, Anthony Fauci has been praised and reviled. Through this documentary we come to know that he combines heart and mind in a singular way, thinking about the well-being of America — and the world — the same way he would when caring for any individual patient.
FAUCI features insights from former President George W. Bush, Bill Gates, former national security advisor Susan Rice, Bono, NIH director Dr. Francis Collins, former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden, and key AIDS activists, among others.
Note: Dr. Fauci had no creative control over the film. He was not paid for his participation, nor does he have any financial interest in the film’s release.
