"It's All True" was the title of an unfinished Orson Welles documentary about South America shot in 1942.

Welles was asked by Nelson Rockefeller to make the film to support the war effort, and as part of the Good Neighbor Policy, and was sent to Brazil to shoot the footage on location.

RKO Radio Pictures quickly cut the funding for the project after dissatisfaction with the way it was being run. All the footage shot by Welles was locked up in the RKO vaults and for many years was believed to be lost, until it resurfaced in 1993.

The original documentary would have consisted of three short pieces, "My Friend Bonito", "Carnaval" and "Four Men on a Raft". Internet Movie Database reports that a fourth segment, featuring Louis Armstrong performing in New Orleans, was planned, but no footage was filmed.
