DVD Reviews of 9/11: Press For Truth
DVD Review: Single best film on 9/11
Summary: 5 Stars
No single film can or does cover every issue;books are better at covering all of the details anyhow. That being said, "9/11: Press For Truth" is, in my opinion the single "best" film on 9/11.
Other that I highly recommend include:
Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of Our Republic
The puzzling collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7
9/11: Blueprint for Truth - The Architecture of Destruction
with Richard Gage, AIA, Architect
9/11 (A film by Jules & Gideon Naudet and James Hanlon)
CNN Tribute: America Remembers - The Events of September 11th and America's Response
9/11 Guilt: The Proof Is In Your Hands
What happened in New York City on 9/11/01?
Who has most profited from the crimes of that day?

DVD Review: A good start-show it to your friends and family
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent documentary for it's focus on hard research. It exposes the 911 cover up in a reserved, hard research type approach. It focuses on the struggle that victims families went through to even have an investigation done! (911 Commission Report), then explores the fact that the mechanics of the events of that day point to government complicity, then exposes some of the money trails leading to Pakistan. Someone said it merely scratches the surface, and it does. It is not the most complete documentary out there as far as exposing the government's true involvement, but It is a gentle introduction that is a good for those who are wary of "theories".
So, see this movie, get mad, then go to something like Loose Change, Unanswered Questions, The Great Conspiracy with Barry Zwicker.
DVD Review: The Truth Will Out?
Summary: 5 Stars
9/11 has become an Internet phenomenon. There are over 30 million websites, blogs, forums and films devoted to the subject. 20 Million people have watched a documentary on the Internet called "Loose Change" which attacks the official version of the events of that day. The movie moguls have taken notice. The documentary is a hit!
There are a multitude of "Documentaries" on the Internet that purport the atrocities of 9/11 were an inside job or false flag operation. A government plot to unify the American people and allow them to follow the Government's foreign policies without question. These Filmmakers generally use images whined from the Internet or documentaries, official films, new reports and amateur footage. The resulting effect is professional and more often than not thought provoking.
One rather poor documentary called "Ripple Effect" asks questions and points out numerous anomalies surrounding the attacks but unfortunately follows the more ridiculous theories that logic should dispel. The most striking portion of this film is the evidence presented of media bias and intimidation. Fox news being the most shameful culprit.
The raw physics explained in most of these non-conformist documentaries on 9/11 is the most compelling argument that the line fed to the American public by its Government might be a false one. All the Internet documentaries follow the same initial thesis, produce the same circumstantial evidence and ask the same questions. The only difference in opinion is as to the specific, why?
Most theories agree that a controlled drone or missile hit the pentagon. Most agree that explosives were used to bring down the twin towers and the lesser-known World Trade Centre Building Number 7. This building fell to the ground with out a plane hitting it. Flight 93 leaves the most unanswered questions but all theorists agree that the crash site is suspiciously free of debris or bodies.
A recent documentary by the BBC that tried to debunk the accusations made by Internet documentaries like "Loose Change" and "Painful Deceptions" yet made no mention of the most controversial and persuasive theory; that the buildings fell at freefall speed. The BBC documentary did admit, however, that a cover-up after the event was undisputable.
A new film called "9/11 Press For Truth" has the distinction of opening in the cinemas. It can now be seen for free on the Internet. This sober film catalogues the absurd struggle of some bereaved wives in trying to find out the truth about the attacks on 9/11 from their very own Government. The stonewalling they endure is sinister in the extreme and Condoleezza Rice dodging direct questions posed by the 9/11 Commission is shocking and sickening. This begs the question, what is the American Government so afraid of?
Having watched a number of these films I find myself asking the same difficult questions that all conspiracy theorists have considered.
Why did World Trade Centre Building Number 7 collapse?
Why did it go largely unreported?
Why did the Twin Towers crash down at free fall speed?
Why is there no plane wreckage at the pentagon?
Where is the wreckage of Flight 93 now?
These questions are the hardest to explain and the hardest to refute. The non-conformist view is that controlled demolitions were responsible for the 3 buildings crashing to the ground on the same day. The official explanation offered by the Official 9/11 Report, FEMA, Popular Mechanics and NIST follow the line that the shock of the planes hitting the buildings, the resulting fires caused by burning fuel and office furnishings caused the steel structure to weaken and thus collapse. This of course does not explain the remarkably efficient collapse of all three buildings including World Trade Centre Number 7, which was not even mentioned in the Official 9/11 report.
Popular Mechanics has tried quite energetically to dispute the questions that have been raised by these intrepid filmmakers. Their privileged position has allowed them access to photographic and video evidence that has not yet been made public. On a recent televised debate on "Democracy Now!" between the young filmmakers of "Loose Change" and Editor in Chief of Popular Mechanics, the latter admitted this special access and used it as defence to an argument about plane debris at the pentagon. "We saw debris in photographs!" The young directors asked why they were not permitted to see these photographs.
John Gross the lead engineer of the NIST report, which follows the Governments official account of towers destruction on 9/11, was unaware that three pools of molten steel were reported, filmed and photographed under each of the three towers weeks after their destruction. He was also unaware of NASA thermal images that registered these extreme temperatures and their locations.
The clear up of ground zero also leaves the Internet theorists with an enormous quantity of loaded questions such as; why was the steel of the towers removed so quickly and either sold abroad or buried before investigations could be conducted. These questions have remained unanswered.
A final shocker freely admitted by the FBI is that there is no evidence to link Usama Bin Laden to the attacks on 9/11. This final admition only goes to prove that the story fed to the American Public is inaccurate.
Conspiracy theories abound when information is withheld, subverted, restricted, censored or denied, which is plainly the case here. The lack of desire by the American Government to investigate with integrity and honesty such an appalling crime is shameless.
Maybe the Conspiracy theorists unknowingly are playing into the Governments hands by clouding the issues and obscuring the truth with theory. The scary thing is that an ever-growing cross-section of the American Public can quite willingly believe that their Government is quite capable of such horrendous atrocities.
DVD Review: Telling the unspeakable to deaf ears
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this documentary last night -- and though it was excellent. It really doesn't take too much research to find out what really happened - and more importantly - what didn't happen on 9/11.
This film has done an excellent job of putting in one place all the key points that must be ignored for the official 9/11 legend to remain intact.
One thing that I feel this film did (perhaps) a poor job of, is not mentioning the American side of the equation that facilitated the free movement of Mohammed Atta and the other supposed hijackers whilst in America.
The film touched upon the $100,000 wired to Atta via Omar Saeed (Daniel Pearl's executioner) in Dubai from General Mahmood -- but it did not mention the trip Atta took onboard a Suncruz casino cruise ship owned by Jack Abramovich days before 9/11, or the fact that he left that $100,000 on the ship. The film also fails to mention that the man who owned the store where the wired $100,000 was collected from - Majik Chams - was an employee of Titan Corp. (one of the biggest beneficiaries of the invasion of Iraq). It might have also been worth mentioning that after 9/11, Jeb Bush personally arrived at the flight school Atta and others attended in Venice, Florida, to seize the records of that flight school. It may have also been prudent to mention the close ties the owner of that flight - Wally Hilliard -has to the CIA. This link to the CIA is best illustrated by the involvement of companies Mr. Hilliard is linked to being used in the extraordinary rendition program ran by the CIA -- and more vividly by the number of times planes owned by Mr. Hillard have flown from Afghanistan to Guantanamo, Cuba. To some it may just seem coincidence that the same man who hosted Mohammed Atta at his flight school -- is also involved in the rounding up of al Queda terrorists, but I think there may be more to this that just coincidence.
An excellent film -- and one that should be shown to all Americans.
DVD Review: David Ray Griffin & Loose Change = Government Paid Disinformation Shills
Summary: 1 Stars
Considering nobody paid any attention to DRG until he tapped into the lucrative conspiracy market with his "The New Pearl Harbor," or to the three stooges of the Loose Change video, Dylan Avery, Korey Rove, Jason Bermas, any independent observer must conclude that they were conscripted by the Bush administration to create dissent and confusion about 911.
With the help of DRG and the Loose Change dolts, Americans are distracted from the obvious inherent flaws in the U.S. intelligence and air defense systems. This is a stroke of genius by the Bush administration since it kills two birds with one stone. The world believes Bush to be a master manipulator and planner of Machiavellian proportions, while simultaneously deflecting attention away from impending divorce.
DRG's lack of historical knowledge makes him an ideal conduit for disinformation. His credentials as an epistemologist/theologian/academic may not shore up his credibility as someone who has anything more than a nodding acquaintance with aviation, demolition, and architecture, but his previous relative obscurity makes him unique among the usual Hollywood Liberals.
The Loose Change trio were thrown in for comedic relief.
Description of 9/11: Press For Truth
The Coverup Exposed By The 9/11 Families"They lied, they all lied." --Patty Casazza (one of the "Jersey Girls")
"We don't know the whole story, not at all" -- Lorie Van Auken (one of the "Jersey Girls")
"9/11 was the biggest 'don't ask-don't tell" --Sally Regenhard, lost Firefighter son.
"Press for Truth" is an astonishing portrayal of the lengths our public servants will go to protect themselves from any accountability. --Scott Horton, Antiwar.com
Although independent investigations began within weeks of both Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination, the same was not true of the attacks of September 11th. Most are unaware that formation of the 9/11 Commission was strongly opposed by many in Washington, including the Bush administration. It was only due to pressure from the 9/11 families, led by a particular twelve calling themselves the Family Steering Committee, that, fourteen months after the attacks, the first hearing finally began. These twelve remained active in monitoring the Commission's investigation, providing a list of hundreds of specific, well-researched questions to the Commissioners. In the end, the 9/11 Commission Final Report failed to answer seventy percent of them.
In 9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH, five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee, including interviews with three of the "Jersey Girls," tell their story for the first time, providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigation. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by Harper-Collins as The Terror Timeline), the filmmakers stitch together rare, overlooked news clips, buried stories, and government press conferences, revealing a pattern of official lies, deception, and spin.
The political becomes personal in 9/11: Press for Truth, which examines the World Trade Center attacks from the perspective of the families who lost loved ones. Written and directed by Ray Nowosielski, the documentary draws partly from Paul Thompson's website-turned-book, The Terror Timeline, and much of the commentary comes from Lorie Van Auken, Patty Casazza, and Mindy Kleinberg, three of the "Jersey Girls." Along with Kristen Breitweiser, the 9/11 widows have become activists in its wake. As Casazza says, "We all had questions...and wanted answers." The primary one was: How could this happen? Interestingly, two of the women voted for Bush. Casazza adds, "Even though he should have been our biggest advocate, he turned into one of our biggest adversaries." Together with eight other spouses, parents, etc., they form the Family Steering Committee and lobby for an independent commission, which comes to pass, but fails to deliver the goods. The widows find more useful information in Thompson's timeline, which he compiled using material in the public domain (Thompson also appears in the film). The style of 9/11: Press for Truth couldn't be more conventional--talking heads, television footage, omniscient narrator, relentless score--but the personal approach makes it a valuable addition to the rapidly-growing list of 9/11 documentaries. The point is, to quote Patti Smith, "people have the power"--people like the Jersey Girls, Paul Thompson, and all the other ordinary citizens who have kept pressure on our elected officials and the news media to dig deeper and work harder. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
