4/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 12/17/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Joshua B Oct 15 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. See more stephen b Feb 16 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. See more Ray S Feb 14 It's ridiculous to claim this movie is a documentary. See more Michael O 10/12/2024 Alex Jones is the reason people like Thanos felt like half of civilisation should be purged... See more Brendan M 09/29/2024 Mind blowing. Beyond comprension that this man could be so evil. See more Jacob O 09/26/2024 It's all lies. It's disgusting what they did to this man. See more Read all reviews
