As far back as she can remember,
Jenny Abel has seen her father appear on television under
a variety of aliases, fooling news reporters and talk show
hosts. He was continually plotting new ways to infiltrate
the media with one of his seemingly absurd causes.
Abel Raises Cain attempts
to explain the true motives behind Alan's hoaxes and, in the
process, allows for a different perspective on how the media
operates. The film echoes Abel's ultimate message —
that you can't believe everything you see, read or hear.
