2. The Lifespan of a Fact

The Lifespan of a Fact is a true story based on the book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal. This dramatic comedy features Jim Fingal, a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John D’Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy—an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, the two come head-to-head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth.
