• The footage shows Che saying West singled him out over a Bill Cosby joke, while West claims he was referring to Leslie Jones, a point that remains disputed.
• Rapper Consequence, who was present, says he stepped in to defuse the moment and asserts the documentary omitted a second confrontation.
• Director Nico Ballesteros assembled the cinéma vérité project from more than 3,000 hours of material filmed over multiple years, and the movie is in limited theatrical release.
