Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A poker faced mockumentary investigating the mysterious assassination of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, director Brian Flemming's film follows a group of skeptics known as Citizens for Truth as they launch an independent investigation into the fatal shooting. As Citizens for Truth confront the LAPD and the mainstream media while simultaneously attempting to hold themselves together amidst inner turmoil, a closer look at the alleged assassin, a twenty-four year old black man named Alek Hiddell, begins to uncover a troubling conspiracy centered on the District Attourney. It seems that immediately following the assassination, Hiddel was shot to death in a hotel basement by a lone LAPD officer, leaving doubts as to his guilt and growing suspicion of corruption within the LAPD.
