The Truth about Jussie Smollett? plot

In January 2019, actor Jussie Smollett claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime that shocked Hollywood, but he was later accused of staging the attack. He was arrested and charged with filing a false police report, but the charges were dropped. In 2020, he was charged again and ultimately convicted of five felonies, including lying to police. In this documentary, the actor tells his story. It also features police officers, lawyers, and other investigators who claim to have discovered new evidence about the case.
