​River's Truth, An Investigation

Welcome, River's Truth supporters!

 For the past 20 years I have been working on the River's Truth documentary, an exploration and investigation into the wrongful death of River Phoenix.  The evidentiary information includes one-on-one interviews with key players, insider insights and more.  

This is not a documentary about River’s life or everything he ever did.   River’s Truth is about the truth behind his wrongful death and the truth about who he was in life. 

The funds collected through this website will be used to complete the documentary as well as River’s final film, “The Man in The Iron Mask”. 

I have also launched a channel on Vimeo devoted to these projects that will feature some of my past films I have directed or produced, as well as "chapters" of the River's Truth documentary as they unfold.

"You can change your name but you cannot escape your fate, Mister Bottoms.  You have chosen not to clear up the truth about your biological brother but he no longer belongs to your family but to the whole world, and thus the grief you fret about such that you hide from us the truth about a great member of the family of humanity. - oh don’t speak about Grief, mister Joker, unless you mean it.  Your days are numbered with the mark of Cain.  I feel no mercy for you as your brother might, I am no River and I won’t forgive and I won’t forget such is the nature of a Phoenix that isn’t fake."   ~ William Richert
