The ultimate showdown between truth and fiction is about to begin... Based on a true—well, true-ish story — THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is a fast-paced story exploding with blistering comedy and timely relevance.

Celebrated author John D’Agata has just written a sublime and shattering magazine essay. But is the story true? Jim, fresh-out-of-Harvard, is assigned to fact-check D’Agata’s essay but as the final deadline looms, hard facts square off against emotional truths in a funny and searing high-stakes showdown.
