Documentary filmmaker Dan Reed, whose work includes Michael Jackson doc “Leaving Neverland” and HBO’s recent “The Truth vs Alex Jones,” has found his calling in getting people to relive “the worst day in their life,” as he describes it.
As well as delving into subjects as grim as child sexual abuse (he won an Emmy and a BAFTA for “Leaving Neverland”) and the Sandy Hook massacre, he has made numerous documentaries about large-scale terror attacks including the Moscow theater hostage crisis of 2002, the 60-hour siege of Mumbai in 2008 and the Nairobi Westgate mall attack of 2013.
How does Reed manage to revisit some of the world’s most barbarous acts without succumbing to despair? By knowing that he is performing a vital role in bearing witness and relaying victims’ stories to the wider public. “I have this sort of mental barrier that gives me an alibi for being there and...

HBO has released the first trailer (below) for its upcoming documentary chronicling the rise and fall of one of the most controversial and disgraced voices in American media: Alex Jones.
In The Truth vs. Alex Jones, filmmaker Dan Reed (Leaving Neverland, Four Hours at the Capitol) shows how Jones built an empire peddling supplements to listeners of his popular InfoWars radio show and then fueled his own collapse by promoting a conspiracy theory that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was staged and its shattered parents were actors.
“With his embrace of Sandy Hook hoaxer theories, Jones discovered that a high-octane mix of conspiracy and politics could set his audience on fire like never before, turbocharging his online supplements business,” Reed said in a statement. “The parents of the children murdered at Sandy Hook confronted Jones in a court of law and exposed his lies.

British director Dan Reed (“Leaving Neverland”) spent four years filming Sandy Hook Elementary parents as they attempt to hold Alex Jones — the infamous talk-news conspiracist guru of InfoWars — accountable for the lies he spread about their children’s murders in 2012. The result is the HBO documentary “The Truth vs. Alex Jones.”
Bringing Jones to trial involved years of effort by the grieving parents and their legal teams and culminated in two jury trials for damages in Texas and Connecticut. The outcome was America’s biggest-ever defamation verdict, with nearly $1.5 billion awarded by juries in the two states to the families, Not surprisingly Jones, who called the Sandy Hook massacre a hoax and was accused of using the tragedy to help sell dietary supplement on his site, subsequently declared bankruptcy.
Variety spoke to Reed ahead of “The Truth vs. Alex Jones” SXSW world premiere on March 11.
