On July 15, 1974 Christine Chubbuck puts a gun to her head during a live broadcast and pulls the trigger. Now, four decades later, director Greene asks actress Kate Lyn Sheil to prepare for a role as Chubbuck. She travels to Florida, visits relevant places and talks to people who knew her in an attempt to capture the mystery and meaning of Christine’s tragic death.

At the same time she is an actress trying to mentally prepare for her role, as she tries to inhabit Christine’s state of mind. She is open about how she deals with this as an actress and how she uses what she knows for her future interpretation.

In an ingenious way director Robert Greene looks for a more substantial truth along the classic dividing line between investigative journalism and fiction. As in his previous hybrid documentary 'Actress' the persona of the actress becomes the ideal channel through which he captures a very complex matter. Or at least to question the idea of ​​"truth" in documentaries or classic investigative journalism and to show that answers from the past are never straightforward, but full of prejudice and assumptions.
