The Chris Chan Conspiracy
The Chris Chan Conspiracy is a documentary film series created by TheGamerFromMars, a channel dedicated to covering strange individuals and odd phenomena. Chris, having gained his own cult of personality on the internet, was one of the most requested topics for TheGamerFromMars to cover, so he pulled out all the stops to make a four episode series with an approximate runtime of five hours.
This documentary is more detailed than Sachumo's and covers a much greater period of time than that documentary, but it is less in-depth than Geno Samuel's documentary. The documentary makes use of several previously unseen interactions between TheGamerFromMars and Copitz with Chris at 14 Branchland Court, Ruckersville, and Charlottesville, which were filmed in December 2019, showcasing Chris's daily life and providing additional insight into his hobbies and public behavior, along with his descent into his delusions. Sections of Chris's life are depicted in the form of artwork resembling Chris's own.
A trailer for The Chris Chan Conspiracy was uploaded onto YouTube on 18 March 2022, and the series proper ran from 19 March 2022 to 9 April 2022, covering everything from how Chris's parents met to Chris being sent to a mental hospital.

[Narrative intro]
1:27 – [Title card fade in: "The Chris Chan Conspiracy"]
[TheGamerFromMars walks to his car, then is shown driving]
TheGamerFromMars: So for years now people have been asking me to do a video talking about Chris Chan, and the problem is, I just never knew where to begin on the subject. So for the past month now, I've been trying to get in touch with Chris Chan in any way I could, uh, but after all that failed, I messaged Copitz, he responded right away and asked me if I wanted to do an interview with Chris Chan, and the answer to that was "absolutely yes", so within a few days I get a cameraman and I am heading down—couple hours—making a roadtrip out of it—to meet the notorious Chris Chan in person.
And this is the street. Is that it?
Cameraman: I… mean, that looks—
TheGamerFromMars: Sonichu! Look!
Cameraman: Sonichu…
TheGamerFromMars: Zoom in on the license plate.
Cameraman: Hold on… huh-huh… see if I can get that.
[They exit the car.]
Chris: Hello!
Cameraman: Hello ! Hi!
[Hellish, still distant wailing from Snoopy and Clover. Worse is to come.]
Copitz: Hey guys! How's it going?
Cameraman: Hey! How are you?
Copitz: Art? Is that right?
TheGamerFromMars: How's it going?
Copitz: Nice to meet you.
Cameraman: I'm Jesse.
Copitz: Jesse, nice to meet you.
TheGamerFromMars: It's an honor to meet you!
Chris: Nice to meet you too.
Cameraman: Christine, hello. I'm Jesse, nice to meet you.
Chris: Yeah, Jesse.
Copitz: Alright, suppose we can go inside.
Cameraman: [mumbles] Okay.
Chris: [stutters] We're gonna do the interview downstairs.
Copitz: Yeah—
Cameraman: Okay. Ha-ha-ha.
[The dogs begin barking torturedly and torturously. Cameraman zooms in on license plate.]
[Everybody enters.]
Cameraman: Oh.
Chris: Go [?] downstairs. [Goes upstairs]
Cameraman: Okay.
Chris: Snoopy, no! Quiet down, quiet down! Quiet! quiet! Alright, everybody's inside.
[The crew are taken aback by Chris's room.]
Cameraman: O-kay… [Films the walls. Copitz nods understandingly. Chris talks to the dogs in the background.] Alright, well… this is, uh… very nice! [Cameraman zooms in on the sheet of paper pictured above]
Copitz: Yes! [indistinct] uploaded…
TheGamerFromMars: Yes, this is the room where it was all made!
Cameraman: This is where it all…
TheGamerFromMars: Sonic-chu!
Copitz: Those dogs are screaming bloody murder!
TheGamerFromMars: Yeah! [laughs]
Copitz: They calm down after a little bit sometimes.
Cameraman: Yeah, yeah.
[Cut to Chris sitting on his bed.]
Chris: The thing— is that thing alright now?
Cameraman: Yeah, is that okay?
Chris: Oh. Yeah. Hello! Hello dear ip— hello dear YouTube and the Internet, all that! Hello! Hello. Hope y'all having a good day. There is your intro. Kinda.
Cameraman: Yeah. Kinda. [laughs]
Copitz: [laughs]
[Title card: "Episode 1: The Birth of Chris Chan"]
Cameraman: Good enough.
Chris: [sigh]
4:00 – [Middling narration of Chris's early life commences.]
53:36 – [Middling narration of Chris's early life stops at the creation of the Sonichu comic.]
Copitz: …feels good, feels good. Uh, is there—is there anything else, uh, what would you—what would you like to, I mean…
Chris: Uh…
Copitz: …I guess, like maybe wanna go to McDonald's or something like that, or we can hang out in the gazebo, maybe…
Chris: Uh… well it's dark out, now…
Copitz: It is.
Chris: …so, might not&mdash not— be able to see the gazebo…
Copitz: That's true.
Chris: …but I can… point it out, it's, uh, you know, behind the house, and, you know where the pen is, the green of the fence right at the, that's, alongside the road there, and then—
Copitz: Uh, I haven't seen it.
Chris: Oof, anyway, you're driving down Westwood,…
Copitz: Right.
Chris: and you look to your right. You see, you will see a doghouse before you see… [dogs start making noise again] the… the, the, the pen—the gazebo's behind the doghouse.
Copitz: Gotcha, I gotcha. Okay.
[The two dogs bark deafeningly from the stairs. Chris talks inaudibly. Everybody exits. Cut to Chris holding a flashlight in the yard.]
Copitz: Here we go, I got the gazeb— and then I get the [inaudible]
TheGamerFromMars: Gazebo's over here.
Chris: Watch your step. This is your light source, I'm the light source.
Cameraman: Yes! [groan]
Copitz: Alright.
Chris: [inaudible]
TheGamerFromMars: It's a very low gazebo.
Copitz: Yeah, it is, ha ha.
Chris: You gotta watch your head if you're more than…
Copitz: So, I'm able to, I'm able to stand, barely, but… at five ten.
Chris: Ah… If you're Brad Garrett you'd have to hunch down.
Copitz: Ooh. Yeah…
Chris: 'Cause his height's more than six feet.
Cameraman: Yeah.
Copitz: [unintelligible]
Chris: Hm… yeah, watch your step.
Copitz: Thank you.
TheGamerFromMars: So, Christine, do any of your neighbors know about, uh, Chris Chan and everything that goes on online?
Chris: Uh. Among which, yes.
TheGamerFromMars: Have, uh, the trolls ever harassed them?
Chris: Hmmm… not that I'm aware of.
TheGamerFromMars: I see.
Chris: I pray they haven't!
TheGamerFromMars: Yeah.
Chris: Anyway, so… bye guys!
TheGamerFromMars: [gruntingly] Yeah.
Chris: Let you all… walk all back to your vehicles.
TheGamerFromMars: Sounds good!
Cameraman: Okay.
Chris: I'll walk y'all back to your autobots.
