I cannot find any reliable independent secondary sources about this "film" (actually a long form YouTube video) other than the one unsigned commentary in the web-only Long Island Press. Flixster is primary and now 404 anyway, Hot Indie News is a promo page and not RS, IMDB is a user-edited directory. It's self-produced, self-published and self-promoted, and even covering the plot is WP:UNDUE because, well, Alex Jones. We'd need independent analytical sources to establish context for every word, per WP:FRINGE. Those sources do not, as far as I can see, exist. Guy (Help!) 12:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not seeing significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:29, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of substantial mentions in secondary sources even searching without the subtitle ("The Mask Comes Off"). Surprising number of comments on foreign language articles though. — Alpha3031 (t • c) 15:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of notability, as I cannot find any significant coverage from reliable sources about this topic. I would be fine with a few sentences' mention at Alex Jones if needed. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 16:06, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails GNG and NFILM. No reviews on RT, nothing of note listed on IMDb, and I couldn't find anything else searching the web either. I don't think there's anything worth merging to Alex Jones. The film is just one of Jones' many methods of tell the same story, the "censorship" was nothing unusual (I think both fans and non-fans of Jones can agree on this), and his other documentary isn't treated in any more depth in his article either.
