Capturing Cohn

Fishko Files | Jun 17, 2020

A documentary film about the late, infamous lawyer Roy Cohn premieres tonight. As WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us, the variety of films and dramatic portrayals of Cohn reveal a figure both fascinating and repellent. More in this episode of Fishko Files.

Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn premieres tonight at 9pm on HBO.

Where's My Roy Cohn?, Point of Order, Citizen Cohn, and the HBO miniseries Angels in America are available to stream or buy online.
