After a limited theatrical release in the U.S., Thank You, Dr. Fauci, an explosive new documentary, premiered digitally on Monday night, streaming globally at www.ThankYouDrFauciMovie.com. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jenner Furst, the film dives deep into the controversial origins of COVID-19, the decades-long research of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the possibility that Fauci may have covered up what some argue was the largest scientific accident in history.
A “Docu-Thriller” Investigation
Furst, known for his hard-hitting documentaries like The Pharmacist, Fyre Fraud, and Time: The Kalief Browder Story, tackles a story he believes has been overshadowed by political divisions and conspiracy theories. The film casts a critical eye on the official narrative, questioning whether the pandemic—responsible for millions of deaths and trillions in economic losses—was the result of scientific hubris, and whether Dr. Fauci, the face of America’s response, was involved in a cover-up.
“This is the largest true-crime story in history, and it had to be told,” said Furst. “I set out to frame this as a docu-thriller that forces people to confront uncomfortable questions about the origins of the virus, the handling of the pandemic, and the role of the most influential health official in America.”
The Filmmakers’ Vision and Approach
The film is a bold move for Furst, who appears on screen for the first time in his career, processing his own shock and disillusionment with Fauci’s public persona. He is seen attempting to interview Fauci, while navigating the emotional impact of being misled by someone he once viewed as a scientific authority.
“This story is too important to be dismissed as political propaganda,” said Lewis Fenton, who co-produced the film with Scott St. John through their production company Bombadil Productions. “We knew we needed to tell this objectively, independently, and without interference.”
The film tackles issues of censorship and the suppression of scientific debate, particularly on social media platforms. Furst and his team argue that much of the discourse surrounding the virus has been unfairly controlled, leaving the public with a skewed understanding of the pandemic’s true origins.
Independent Release Amid Growing Demand
Given the sensitive and potentially explosive nature of the content, Thank You, Dr. Fauci bypassed traditional streaming services and launched on its dedicated website, where viewers can stream the film in 4K for a limited time. The site, designed with input from former developers of major streaming platforms, offers secure, unlimited access for 72 hours, ensuring that the film cannot be easily censored or removed.
Since its digital release, the site has experienced a surge in traffic, with viewers from across the globe eager to access the film’s unfiltered narrative. Furst’s team wanted to ensure the film reached as many people as possible, without interference from outside forces or political pressure.
Filmmakers Take Aim at Fauci’s Role
Furst, a registered Democrat who identifies as “very far left,” admits that he waited for Fauci’s congressional hearings in June before deciding to release the film. In a pivotal moment near the end of the film, Furst confronts Rep. Jamie Raskin and other Democratic leaders, who he says failed to hold Fauci accountable despite mounting evidence that the origins of the virus could be traced to a lab.
“I thought we might see bipartisan support,” Furst explained. “But when the hearings turned into a circus, I realized this would have to be addressed differently.”
The film questions why it took so long for these issues to be addressed, and why the truth about Fauci’s involvement remains hidden. Executive producer Arnold Rifkin, a long-time supporter of civil rights and the Democratic Party, said he has received criticism for the timing of the release, but he remains firm in his belief that the public deserves the truth.
“People have lost so much because of this, and it’s time for the truth to come out,” said Rifkin. “I am more interested in exposing the truth than in protecting a political party.”
A Call for Accountability
In the film, Furst makes a compelling case that COVID-19 may have been just the beginning. He warns that without significant reforms, the world could face another laboratory-created pandemic. “If we don’t address the underlying issues, this won’t be the last,” Furst said.
Thank You, Dr. Fauci raises essential questions about the responsibility of scientists, the transparency of government agencies, and the risks posed by unchecked scientific experimentation. With millions still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic, Furst and his team hope to spark a broader conversation about accountability and the need for urgent action to prevent future crises.
The film is produced by Incite Studios and Bombadil Productions, with additional production by Attika J. Torrence, Lee Schweninger, Takashi Cheng, and Jeannie Fenton. For more information, to view the official trailer, or to purchase the film, visit www.ThankYouDrFauciMovie.com.
