A documentary about the legendary film director Orson Welles, directed by Morgan Neville, who won an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for *Twenty Feet from Stardom*. This film tells the intriguing story of Welles' final 15 years. Known as the "miracle boy" for directing *Citizen Kane*, by 1970, Welles' glory days were over, and he became a wandering artist trying to return to Hollywood with *The Other Side of the Wind*. He spent years filming, depicting an aging film director striving to complete his final masterpiece. The film was shot using guerrilla-style techniques, with Welles and a group of young dreamers facing chaos and navigating the challenges of securing funding, refusing to bow to fate. Welles passed away in 1985, and this unfinished film became one of the most famous incomplete projects in film history, with its negatives stored in a basement for decades. *After the Fact* gathers former collaborators with Welles, including Peter Bogdanovich, Frank Marshall, Oja Kodar, and Welles' daughter, Beatrice Welles. They share previously unknown insights, completing the story of one of the greatest directors in film history and introducing audiences to a director who was gifted, unconventional, and unyielding in his defiance.
