Nothing So Strange is a mockumentary (faux documentary) that follows the group Citizens for Truth in their search for the truth behind Bill Gates' assasination on December 2, 1999.

In order to give the plot an extra dimension of authenticity, director Brian Flemming designed a string of phony websites dedicated to conspiracy theories and memorials related to Bill Gates' assasination. One of the sites was supposedly made so believable that it fooled a Korean journalist and subsequently put the local stock market on hold until the mistake was discovered.

Nothing So Strange has been hyped as an anti-Bill Gates film but the director is merely hijacking Gates' persona in order to tell a story about group organisation and internal conflicts.
