To gain deeper insight into the public health leader, the film features interviews with former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Gates; musician Bono; Susan Rice, former national security adviser; Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health; former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden; journalists Laurie Garrett and Apoorva Mandavilli; and key AIDS activists. His family, friends and former patients also provide more personal commentary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is only one Dr. Tony Fauci, and it\u2019s an incredible privilege to be the first to tell the story of his life and career, including his never-ending quest to cure and prevent outbreaks,\u201d said John Hoffman (<em>The Weight of the Nation<\/em>, <em>Sleepless in America<\/em>) and Janet Tobias (<em>Unseen Enemy<\/em>, <em>No Place on Earth<\/em>), directors of the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJanet and John did a remarkable job capturing the complex man I\u2019ve come to know over the last three decades,\u201d said Peter Staley, film subject and founding member of the AIDS activist group ACT UP. \u201cAs an activist, I think I\u2019ll be tangling with Tony Fauci for the rest of my life, but I\u2019ll never doubt his commitment to public health, nor his profound decency and humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Fauci<\/em> was produced by Alexandra Moss (<em>Not Done: Women Remaking America<\/em>) and Jon Bardin (<em>All In: The Fight for Democracy<\/em>), with Dan Cogan (<em>Icarus<\/em>) and Liz Garbus (<em>What Happened, Miss Simone?<\/em>, <em>The Farm: Angola, USA<\/em>) serving as executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>Following the release of the film, National Geographic Books will release a compilation of interviews from the film with the book <em>Fauci: Expect the Unexpected<\/em>, which will go on sale on November 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic Documentary Films and Magnolia Pictures have set the theatrical premiere for the new film Fauci for this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5754,5755,2062],"class_list":["post-16727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fauci","tag-magnolia-pictures","tag-national-geographic-documentary-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
