Tucker Carlson, the conservative media figure and former Fox News host, is set to release a new documentary scrutinizing Anthony S. Fauci’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The film, titled “Thank You Dr. Fauci,” will stream on the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN), Carlson’s recently launched media platform, the Daily Caller first reported. The documentary is directed by Jenner Furst, an award-winning filmmaker known for social justice documentaries.
“When I began working on this film, my goal wasn’t to produce a politically charged narrative or an attack piece. COVID impacted all of us, and I was seeking answers,” Furst explained to the Daily Caller. “I am now certain that Anthony Fauci deceived the American public, and we were harshly let down by the institutions we believed would safeguard us.”
Furst is collaborating with TCN, a media organization founded by Carlson and Neil Patel, who also co-founded the Daily Caller.
Carlson told the Daily Caller, “Five years after COVID killed millions, overturned western societies and wrecked the American economy, we’re finally learning how and why it was unleashed on the world. This is an amazing documentary.”
Furst connected with TCN, seeking a platform to help him reach a broad audience for the documentary focused on Dr. Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The network gets new documentary pitches all the time, Patel told the Caller, but something about this one stood out.
“‘Thank You Dr. Fauci’ was the clearest winner we have ever had,” explained Patel. “We love partnering with Jenner to tell this important story. Politics aside, nobody has done a better job of decoding all the lies. It’s the rarest of unicorns when a must-see production is this riveting. It should have never taken this long for the truth to be exposed and as a result, we are closer than ever to another manmade pandemic, with billions of lives around the globe hanging in the balance.”

“COVID revealed how compromised our mainstream media is in America,” added Furst. “Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel have created a platform for brave, uncensored stories that expose critical issues in ways that other outlets cannot. I’m honored to partner with TCN in hopes of creating a bold, nonpartisan coalition. It will take a unified front to demand transparency, accountability and urgent interventions to safeguard the planet from another manmade pandemic. If action isn’t taken immediately, it may be too late.”
The documentary will be broadcast exclusively on TCN, starting at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, December 20, and will continue until the inauguration. Carlson’s film joins a growing number of post-pandemic retrospectives that seek to examine the decisions and leaders who shaped the nation’s response.
The announcement signals Carlson’s growing efforts to expand his media footprint since his departure from Fox News earlier this year. The Tucker Carlson Network, a subscription-based platform, has become a hub for content that appeals to Carlson’s loyal audience and aims to counter mainstream media narratives.
