HBO presents “The Truth vs Alex Jones,” an insightful documentary exploring the intersection between conspiracy media and real world consequences against the backdrop of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting tragedy. Through detailed chronicles of two defamation trials involving InfoWars radio host Alex Jones over his outrageous claims made about their families of victims who perished, this film offers an honest depiction of an emotionally taxing journey taken by families as they take up battle over his unfounded claims made about them by family members of victims who confront him over them.
The Genesis of Controversy
Alex Jones rose to national prominence following the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut tragedy which resulted in the murder of 20 children and six educators, by making questionable claims denying its reality and suggesting it had all been staged by government agents as part of some grandiose plot. Jones’ rhetoric caused distress for bereaved parents while suggesting they may simply have been acting out their roles within an elaborate government scheme to keep up appearances; ultimately this heartless narrative initiated a legal battle that resulted in an extraordinary $1.5 billion settlement awarded as compensation to affected families affected by these allegations from those responsible.
