- The film questions how Baldwin’s public image shaped his trial.
- Baldwin was acquitted, but his account remains a focus of the documentary.

## Summary

Filmmakers Rory Kennedy and Mark Bailey say Alec Baldwin “really, really didn’t like” their documentary about the aftermath of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ death on the Rust set. The film examines how Baldwin’s wish to change public perceptions of him may have shaped the events that led to his prosecution, while leaving viewers to judge his account and the fairness of the case.

Kennedy and Bailey began filming in March 2023, as Rust was preparing to resume production and an initial involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin had been dropped; a grand jury re-indicted him in January 2024. The documentary follows his career, public image and personal reflections during a period of intense strain. Baldwin was ultimately acquitted in the case, but the filmmakers say the film leaves open questions about how reliable a narrator he is and whether he faced an injustice.
