Would 25-year-old Orson Welles (whose 1941 Citizen Kane staggered Hollywood) go to Brazil and make a film for the United States' anti-Nazi "Good Neighbor Policy"? Welles eagerly agreed, masterminding a complex film that featured three separate stories, each vividly depicting the charm, drama and politics of South American culture. During the course of filming, Welles encountered hazardous locations and an ever-changing cast of studio executives at RKO. After months of arduous shooting, the studio suddenly pulled the plug and shelved the project. Welles never recovered from this and the true story of what happened to him in Brazil was never told. t's All True is the title of Welles' original film...and of this remarkable story about its making...and unmaking. Featuring a treasure trove of newly discovered footage, including Welles' stunning short film Four Men On A Raft, this fascinating documentary closes the book on a long-lost chapter of cinema lore and opens a new world for today's viewers -a Wellesian world that's all impassioned, all captivating, all true.
