Who is Alex Jones? Is he a dangerous lunatic or a patriotic hero? Does he even believe the things he says? From beloved Austin local radio host, to outspoken critic of presidents Bush, Clinton, and Obama, to a national figure espousing incendiary conspiracy theories about 9/11, Sandy Hook, and the New World Order through his media platform, Infowars, to his instrumental role in the protests leading up to and including January 6th, Alex's War is an unprecedented close examination of this guarded, mythic figure, and the story of the fracturing of the great American narrative--through the eyes of this man who helped break it. Building around Jones's first ever independent long-form interviews, behind-the-scenes footage from his studio and rallies, and full access to the Infowars archives, acclaimed director Alex Lee Moyer traces the twenty-five year rollercoaster of a career that brings him to the winter of 2020 and a monstrously manic election--a moment Jones sees not just as the culmination of his lifelong mission, but the decisive point in the fate of humanity.

One Guy's Opinion

The total reliance on Jones makes it a thoroughly one-sided affair, and viewers are advised to look elsewhere for some much-needed balance.

Rated: C-

Tilt Magazine

Is worthwhile for the perspective it shows on Jones' career and his changing relationship with the political right, but ultimately misses the forest for the trees.

Rated: 2/5

Alex’s War’s archival approach is ultimately nothing special... [but] a predictable culture war cycle surrounding it has spun once again. The film is both more and less interesting than this built-in reaction.

I like hearing the truth about what is going on. Too much Hollywood bs and lying politics and fake news media in this world.

11 September 2022 Alex Jones. You may like him or you may hate him, but you can't deny that he's influenced, for better or for worse, millions of people over the years. Do you wish to see him when he's NOT on air? Do you wish to see what REALLY happened on January 6? If so, then this is the movie you need to see. Alex's War is not the first documentary about InfoWars, but it is the first documentary to do what every documentary should do: simply interview Alex and several of his friends, and trust the audience to make their own opinions about them. The documentary is built on two storylines that frequently overlap each other: Alex's life, and his activities during the winter of 2020-21. For two hours, it slowly builds up the intrigue, telling us of Alex's connections and his ability to uncannily predict world events like the Oklahoma City bombings, 9/11, and the Covid plandemic. Finally, we get to an intense climax as the film covers Sandy Hook, and, near the very end, January 6. Whatever your opinions of Sandy Hook are, this film will at least cause you to ask questions and give you information from both sides. The film also shows exclusive footage of January 6, and Alex's real actions on that strange day. Alex's War does have a few flaws in its production value. Ten or so minutes of the film could've been cut out, and some InfoWars/Alex Jones Show logos are shown too many times. Regardless, I am proud to announce that Alex's War is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. That the filmmakers were able to make such an intriguing movie about a person they don't even agree with is amazing to me. If you love Alex Jones, this film will show that he's as fallible as you and me. If you hate Alex Jones, it'll show that he's as human as you and me. And if you're like me, and can't quite make up your mind about him yet, then this is the documentary for you. CONTENT WARNING: about 20 f-words spoken.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Great Movie, put the media's bias against Alex into focus and shows the struggle of Alex to keep telling the truth despite the barrage of attacks against him. History will remember Alex as a hero for giving his life to this cause
