Synopsis

Kathleen Abedon’s teenage son Julian carries an automatic weapon into his workplace and opens fire.

When the smoke clears, 14 people are dead, Julian among them.

One year later, when true-crime writer Jo Hunter comes to town to interview Kathleen for a book on the shooting, the grief-stricken mother seeks to convince the skeptical journalist that Julian has been framed for the shooting.

At a time in our history when the truth is under attack on a daily basis, Truth Be Told explores the nature of objective truth and the ways in which we manipulate and distort it to serve our own ends.
