Overview
- The film offers an intimate, previously unseen portrait of Alec Baldwin during the fallout from the 2021 Rust shooting.
- It tracks his case through July 2024, when a judge dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charges with prejudice after finding prosecutors had withheld relevant evidence.
- Kennedy says Baldwin initially resisted the project before agreeing under terms that gave her full editorial control and prohibited any payment to him.
- The documentary examines how social media and broader public chatter can influence the justice system, as Kennedy describes.
- Kennedy underscores that the work does not lessen the tragedy of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ death, which remains the story’s anchor.
