TRUTH
Telling the truth isn’t always easy, but with the rise of misinformation and fake news, being honest is more important now than ever before. But what distinguishes between fact and fiction?
This program features animated documentaries and films based on true events, alongside films that focus on the nature of TRUTH; shining a light on the lesser known struggles of immigration, calling out racial segregation, and tell honest stories about complicated feelings and relationships.
