Over the past four years, self-styled right-wing commentator Alex Jones has been fighting off two defamation lawsuits filed against him and his website, InfoWars, by families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.

BAFTA and Emmy-winning filmmaker Dan Reed (Four Hours at the Capitol, Leaving Neverland, Terror at the Mall) and his team tracked the cases throughout those four years to produce HBO original documentary The Truth Vs. Alex Jones.

Working closely with the parents who sued Jones, their legal teams and one of Jones’ defense attorneys, Reed explores the scope and effects of Jones’ brand of conspiracy, following the families’ legal efforts to hold Jones accountable for spreading lies about them and their now-deceased children. The cases culminate in a historic award of nearly $1.5 billion, causing Jones to declare bankruptcy.

The film's featured participants include Sandy Hook parents Mark Barden, Alissa and Robbie Parker, Neil Heslin, Scarlett Lewis, Nicole Hockley, Lenny Pozner and Veronique de la Rosa; attorneys Mark Bankston, Chris Mattei, Wesley Ball and Andino Reynal; Connecticut State Police officer Daniel Jewiss; InfoWars employees Dan Bidondi, Rob Jacobson, Josh Owens and Christopher Jordan; and former school security administrator and InfoWars contributor Wolfgang Halbig.

The Truth Vs. Alex Jones is an Amos Pictures Production. It’s directed by Dan Reed and produced by Reed and Marguerite Gaudin. Peter Haddon and William Grayburn are editors. Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller executive produce for HBO, while Anna Klein is supervising producer.

The HBO original documentary premieres Tuesday, March 26 at 9 p.m. on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
