‘The Trial of Alec Baldwin’ Trailer Gives Behind-the-Scenes Look at Actor During ‘Rust’ Trial

Journalist Rory Kennedy is set to release a new documentary titled "The Trial of Alec Baldwin," which will delve into the highly publicized case surrounding the tragic shooting that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. This incident occurred when Alec Baldwin mistakenly fired a prop gun during the production of "Rust," leading to extensive media coverage from the very moment of the shooting until Baldwin's charges were eventually dismissed.

Following the trial, Baldwin went on to star in a reality show that explored the grim reality of the aftermath.

Directed by Rory Kennedy, the documentary aims to provide a comprehensive look at the trial, but also examines how the public opinion played a significant role in the proceedings. It is evident that Baldwin's political views and well-known persona influenced the perception many had of the case. Despite the outcome, "The Trial of Alec Baldwin" appears to be the most in-depth exploration of this event that audiences are likely to witness.

The documentary will have its premiere at the Village East by Angelika in New York on October 1 and will be shown at Laemmle Santa Monica on October 15 before opening in theaters nationwide on October 16.
