Explores the life and trial of Alec Baldwin in the aftermath of the Rust shooting incident.
Production
In April 2023, Rory Kennedy was announced to be in production of a documentary revolving around Alec Baldwin and the Rust shooting incident.[2] In May 2024, Kennedy was revealed to be fighting a subpoena by prosecutors to turn over footage in the documentary, claiming it included "critical pieces of information concerning key elements of this criminal prosecution."[3] In an affidavit, Kennedy stated Baldwin did not approach or commission the documentary and had no creative or editorial control over the film.[4] A judge later ruled Kennedy did not have to turn over footage.[5] Kennedy was denied access to the resuming production of Rust after production felt Baldwin was making the project to "exonerate" himself, with director Joel Souza declining to sit for an interview.[6][7] Executive produced by Ray Maiello, Rob Guillermo, Colin Marshal, Todd Thompson, Rita Powers, Tanner Cusumano and Jared Underwood.
