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.

Funny I like everything Rotten tomatoes give low score and hate everything they score high. 50 percent of documentary is false and more leftist trying to criminalize Alex Jones. Get a life

Difficult and heartbreaking film. I watched this as a testament to the families whom suffered so much at Sandy Hook and the aftermath. The power and damage of conspiracy theories and lies of Alex Jones as well as the people like him is destroying and devastating. These families are so courageous and brave.

A heartbreaking story that is very balanced in its depiction of both sides of the story. The filmmaker should be proud that at one point during the film, they actually made me feel bad for Alex Jones, which is a near impossible thing to do. But then I remembered how he terrorized these families for years while they were grieving the loss of their 6 year old children and immediately stopped feeling sorry for him. If you come away from this film thinking that the filmmaker's depiction of the story is "one-sided", then you may want to go see the Wizard of Oz for a heart and a brain.

Compared with Reed’s previous work, which includes “Leaving Neverland” and “Four Hours at the Capitol,” “The Truth vs. Alex Jones” is more sharply targeted and careful not to entirely rely on the audience’s empathy.

New York Times

“The Truth vs. Alex Jones” offers a lesson in just how vicious and pervasive conspiracy theories can become and a chilling portrait of how little they may trouble their purveyors.

The movie reminds us that there’s no reasoning with or giving the benefit of the doubt to a man like Jones. Exposing his lies might seem like a never-ending battle, but the truth is worth fighting for.

Many documentaries about this subject have been released in recent years, but very few have framed the repercussions of perpetuating falsehoods so poignantly and powerfully.
