ALEX’S WAR Director Up Next on Tom Needham’s SOUNDS OF FILM
Director Alex Lee Moyer Talks ALEX'S WAR on Tom Needham's SOUNDS OF FILM
Who is Alex Jones? Is he a dangerous lunatic or a patriotic hero? Does he even believe the things he says? Everyone has a strong opinion. And per usual in today’s America, both sides cannot agree on the basic facts.
ALEX’S WAR is an unprecedented close examination of this guarded, mythic figure, and the story of the fracturing of the American narrative—through the eyes of this man who helped break it.
Building around Jones’ first ever independent long-form interviews, behind-the- scenes footage from his studio and rallies, and full access to the Infowars archives, acclaimed director Alex Lee Moyer traces the twenty-five year rollercoaster of a career that brings him to the manic election in the winter of 2020—a moment Jones sees not just as the culmination of his lifelong mission, but the decisive point in the fate of humanity.

In 2020, Moyer made her debut as a director with the independent low-budget documentary TFW NO GF— which became the sleeper hit of SXSW, going viral in a week-long Amazon COVID run that attracted both widespread acclaim and controversy. Critics called it “memorably unnerving,” “a layered, fascinating exploration of a subculture,” and even “the defining documentary of our generation.”
ALEX’S WAR (2022) will be Moyer’s second feature film.
