  • EXTRA: The Truth vs Alex Jones
    "The Truth vs. Alex Jones" is a harrowing documentary that chronicles the legal battle between the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims and the notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. For years, Jones used his platform, Infowars, to spread vile lies claiming the shooting was a hoax and that the grieving families were crisis actors.

    This documentary goes behind the scenes of the defamation lawsuits filed against Jones, following the families' relentless pursuit of accountability. Through interviews with the parents, their legal teams, the documentary paints a disturbing picture of the devastating consequences of disinformation and the power Jones wielded.

    As the trials unfold in Texas and Connecticut, Jones's refusal to comply with court orders leads to default judgments against him. "The Truth vs. Alex Jones" is a stark exploration of the destructive power of conspiracy theories and a testament to the resilience of those fighting for truth in the face of relentless attacks.
