A new film by acclaimed director Alex Lee Moyer set to be released in theaters next month asks the question, “Who is Alex Jones? Is he a dangerous lunatic or a patriotic hero?”
Moyer, who previously directed TFW NO GF, a fascinating insight into the incel sub-culture, has returned with a new documentary movie about one of the most controversial men on the planet today.
A trailer for Alex’s War has just dropped on YouTube, teasing viewers with the promise of taking them on a rollercoaster ride showing Jones’ rise from local radio talk show host to national attention and infamy.
“Alex’s War is an unprecedented close examination of this guarded, mythic figure, and the story of the fracturing of the great American narrative—through the eyes of this man who helped break it,” states the blurb accompanying the film.
The clip charts how the “most banned, most demonized person in the world” became a target of the regime after his once relatively obscure media empire grew to such a level that it helped elect President Donald Trump in 2016.
Footage shows Jones cutting his teeth in the late 90’s by confronting deceitful councils and exposing corrupt local politicians.
It then zooms forward to 2015, when a major centerpiece of Trump launching his presidential campaign was an appearance on Jones’ show during which Trump described Jones as “amazing.”
The persecution of Jones in the form of his sustained demonization and deplatforming, which intensified after January 6, is also documented.
“OK, let’s put me in prison for questioning, even though that’s my right,” states Jones in the documentary. “In fact let’s execute Alex Jones, let’s put me in front of a firing squad and pull the trigger.”
“I have a sick feeling actually, because I know what comes next,” he adds.
The movie will be showing in select theaters on July 29th and will be available for video download on the same date.
With the late night TV ‘comedy’ genre dying on its arse, Kimmel, Colbert and Oliver are re-branding as bedroom live-streamers, and it’s as cringe as you’d expect.
