The film about the investigation of the explosion of the Nord Streams broke the ovation

The documentary film Cover-Up ("Concealment"), dedicated to the career of Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh and his most high-profile investigations, including the publication about the undermining of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, gathered applause at a special screening at the New York Film Festival. This is reported by RIA Novosti.

The film tells about Hersh's most significant publications — the disclosure of the massacre in Songmi during the Vietnam War, torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and other high-profile topics. A separate emphasis is placed on his investigation into the undermining of Nord Streams, for which the journalist was criticized for using a single source.

"What was I supposed to do? Don't write about it? Even if there are nine sources, sometimes it's better when he's alone," Hersh says in the film, responding to criticism about the investigation of the bombings.

The screening of the film, which took place on Wednesday, gathered a full house — all tickets were sold out. After the session, the audience applauded standing, welcoming the courage and integrity of the journalist, the newspaper notes.

As EADaily reported, Hersh wrote in his investigation with reference to the special services that they organized and carried out the US bombings, which involved the Norwegian military. During the NATO summer exercises, explosives were laid on the gas pipelines, and activated with the help of radio beacons that were dropped from airplanes.

However, in Italy, at the request of Berlin, a Ukrainian was detained, who is accused of coordinating sabotage on Nord Streams.

German investigators believe that a citizen of Ukraine, Sergei Kuznetsov, coordinated sabotage on the Nord Streams in the Baltic Sea on September 26, 2022. According to a statement by the German prosecutor's office, the suspect was part of a group of people who installed explosive devices on pipelines off the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Italian security forces detained Kuznetsov near Rimini in August on a European arrest warrant. The suspect was vacationing there with his family.
