Run Time:
98 minutes
In 1951 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of sharing nuclear weapons technologies with the Soviets, were put to death by electrocution. The man largely responsible for their execution was Roy Cohn, a 24-year-old prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice. Cohn would go on to be one of the most infamous prosecutors in the United States. From working as Joseph McCarthy’s right-hand man, to serving as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Cohn earned himself quite a reputation. Through the years, Cohn has been called a lot of things: a hypocrite, a snake, amoral, the personification of evil… but Cohn’s story is much more complex than his public persona. Despite his conservative political views and hostile public stance on gay rights, Cohn himself was a closeted homosexual who eventually died from AIDS. Directed by the granddaughter of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, BULLY. COWARD. VICTIM. THE STORY OF ROY COHN is an in-depth documentary on the rise and fall of Roy Cohn. — G.S.
