An Honest Liar documents the life of former magician, escape artist, and skeptical educator James Randi, in particular the investigations through which he publicly exposed psychics, faith healers, and con-artists.

In the fifth installment of Docs on Docs, The Reelist co-founder Michael Husain interviews co-director Tyler Measom on his and Justin Weinstein's documentary An Honest Liar, how magic is a form of storytelling, and the current stylistic decisions of documentary cinema.
