When Welles declined to look at the newly recovered footage, Wilson accepted the difficult task of making sense of it. After he spent days scrutinizing the unprinted negative Wilson identified about seven hours of the "Jangedeiros" footage shot at Fortaleza. He edited some of the film into a coherent ten-minute sequence, which was used in a short film that was titled "It's All True: Four Men on a Raft". The other 12 minutes of the film included the on-screen recollections of Wilson and cinematographer George Fanto.
