It includes interviews with Carey Gibson, Beverly Dollarhide, and other family members.

It includes interviews with Charlie Parker and with federal investigator Nancy Fisher.

And it includes dramatized reconstructions of key scenes — Bourdin in Spain, Carey in Linares, the return to San Antonio — that recreate events that were not filmed at the time.

The combination of these elements creates an unusual viewing experience.

The documentary is simultaneously an account of Bourdin’s deception and, potentially, a new context in which Bourdin can attempt to deceive.

Watching him narrate, charm, explain, and justify, the viewer is always uncertain whether what Bourdin says is the truth, a partial truth, a self-serving narrative, or a new performance designed for the camera.
