Filmed over four years with unprecedented access, THE TRUTH VS. ALEX JONES chronicles the riveting courtroom drama of two defamation lawsuits brought by Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims' families against Alex Jones and his website, InfoWars. While exploring the scope and ripple effects of Jones' brand of conspiracy-minded media, the film follows the families' legal efforts to hold him accountable for spreading lies about them and their children. The cases culminate in a historic award of nearly $1.5 billion in damages, followed by Jones declaring bankruptcy.

Critics Consensus

The Truth vs. Alex Jones is a harrowing and necessary documentary that exposes the insidious power of conspiracy theories, the exploitation of grief for profit, and the chilling indifference of those who profit from spreading lies.

The madness of it, and the knowledge that Jones’s rants are giving a certain rabid demographic exactly what they want, the dizzying sense of unreality and the multiplying questions as you watch.

Dan Reed also made Leaving Neverland (2019)... in both documentaries he’s unflinching, here selecting footage of Alex Jones spitting his invective about the deep state on Texas-based media platform Infowars, owned by his company Free Speech Systems.

Rated: 5/5

This must-see documentary expresses the real danger and destructive power of unchecked conspiracy theories, the money that can be made from exploiting tragedy, and the responsibility we all bear in combating the growing proliferation of fake news.

I was against this guy from the start, I thought how could someone make a mockery from a tragedy, but after watching this movie I gotta say... It is very hard to believe most of these "parents" solely on the fact that they are just not very good at acting. The moment the fake crying started, I had a revelation. This must be a hoax. People dont fake cry for real children that are lost. Next round, hire better actors.

Heartbreaking at times, with ultimate vindication in the end. Just make sure to take your blood pressure medicine beforehand for some of the in between.
