The documentary, titled The Trial of Alec Baldwin, tracks the period from when production on Rust was set to resume through to the sudden dismissal with prejudice of the criminal case against Baldwin, ComingSoon reported. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film examines the aftermath of the event and the reliability of Baldwin as a narrator of his own story. [1][2]

On October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured when a live round discharged from a prop revolver held by Baldwin, according to Wikipedia. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Baldwin states early in the documentary that the worst outcome for him is to be misunderstood. [2][5]
