The documentary “The War on Truth” (TWOT) directed by Chris Burgard is a thought-provoking film that delves into the events surrounding the alleged January 6th, 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. The documentary focuses on the stories of ordinary Americans whose lives have been affected by the aftermath of the event, rather than the more sensationalized events that happened that day.

Twisted Accusations and Overzealous Prosecutions

TWOT highlights how federal prosecutors have exaggerated and twisted their accusations against many January 6th defendants, aiming to intimidate and silence half of the country. Instead of exploring the more conspiratorial aspects of the event, the film sheds light on the tragic stories of individuals whose lives have been upended by the Justice Department’s aggressive prosecutions.
