Amy Herdy’s new documentary, <a href="https://www.parrotkindergartendoc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parrot Kindergarten</a>, about an attorney and cult survivor who heals by teaching her parrot to read, is in theaters from November 3. She is president and co-founder of Covetower, an investigative production company dedicated to high-impact storytelling across film and television, and has helped create some of the most impactful documentaries of the past decade. She first entered the film world as an expert researcher for the Oscar-nominated, Peabody-winning documentary The Invisible War (2012), her first, which exposed the epidemic of sexual assault in the U.S. military. With Dick and Ziering, she then produced The Hunting Ground (2015), that ignited the national conversation about campus sexual assault and reshaped school policies nationwide; The Bleeding Edge (2018), which investigated corruption in the medical device industry, catalyzing removals of dangerous devices from the market; On the Record (2020), a searing exposé at the intersection of Black Lives Matter and #MeToo; and the four-part HBO series Allen v. Farrow, which was nominated for seven Emmys. Before entering film, Ms. Herdy built her investigative skills in television news and newspapers, reporting in Florida and Kentucky before joining The Denver Post.
