Watch It's All True

A documentary about the epic documentary film that Orson Welles never finished. At the height of his fame Orson Welles was contracted by RKO and the US government to make an anthology film about South America in order to improve relations and foster a cultural dialogue. After shooting thousands of feet of footage in three countries the project was scuttled, contributing to the slow decline of the once acclaimed director's career. Told through interviews and historical footage, the documentary concludes with a reconstructed segment of the film created from rediscovered footage shot by Welles.
