Friday May 17 marked, the red carpet in Dallas, Texas, for the premiere of the highly anticipated documentary “The War on Truth,” directed by Hollywood veterans Chris Burgard and NicK Searcy.
Chris Burgard, a seasoned filmmaker & actor with a career spanning four decades, reminisced about his Hollywood journey, which began with his work on the iconic 80’s film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
Burgard shared poignant reflections on the industry’s evolution, remarking on a time when Hollywood was a bastion of both fun and unfiltered truth. However, he revealed a noticeable shift in the industry’s climate, particularly as he ventured into contentious topics like the border crisis, the war on drugs, and the January 6th Capitol incident. His candid observations underscored the risks and rewards of tackling such divisive issues in today’s media landscape.
The atmosphere on the red carpet was electric, with a palpable sense of anticipation. Burgard, looking classic in a Texas Cowboy hat, took time to engage with fans and press alike, expressing his hopes that the documentary would encourage viewers to question narratives and seek deeper truths. Nick Searcy, his co-director and fellow actor, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the film’s mission to ignite conversations that transcend political divides.
Cast and crew members also shared their experiences, both on set and off.
The War on Truth, a compelling documentary delves into the controversial events of January 6th. Set for release on May 17th in Dallas and May 18th in Mt. Pleasant, the film posits a bold assertion: that the tumultuous happenings at the Capitol were not merely a spontaneous insurrection by enraged supporters of former President Donald Trump but rather a meticulously orchestrated event by government forces.
The mainstream narrative of January 6th has been that of a violent insurrection carried out by a fringe group of MAGA supporters. However, The War on Truth challenges this account by presenting evidence that suggests a different story. Burgard and his team claim that the continued censorship and withholding of footage surrounding January 6th hint at a deeper, more orchestrated plot.
The documentary promises to “pull back the curtain” on January 6th by showcasing interviews with eyewitnesses, providing video evidence, and posing difficult questions that mainstream narratives have often avoided. It aims to provide viewers with a comprehensive look at what truly transpired, encouraging them to reconsider their preconceived notions about the day’s events.
As the release dates approach, The War on Truth is set to ignite conversations and challenge the established narratives surrounding one of the most pivotal events in recent American history.
