Press for Truth

This movie is intended as a "lite" introduction to the more fevered 9-11 conspiracy theories without quite donning the tinfoil hats. How could the military have so rapidly responded to Payne Stewart's plane in 1999, but not to the 9-11 hijackings? Answer: Because the military didn't respond rapidly in 1999. It took 81 minutes, far more time than the military had on 9-11. Why didn't the 9-11 Commission Report mention the collapse of Building 7? Because it was irrelevant; nobody died there and in fact the collapse of the building was anticipated by the FDNY. At its heart this film is dishonest; the filmmakers (and several of the subjects of the film) believe in the full-bore conspiracy theories, but they chose to cloak themselves in the guise of "Just asking questions" because they sense that the public disagrees with their paranoid world view.

This is an incredibly well-researched and detailed documentary. Paul Thompson has done an amazing job outlining the events that preceded and followed 9/11. This is not a propaganda piece, however it does focus on the efforts of the families of the 9/11 victims to uncover the truth about that fateful day. The Bush administration and the American mainstream media do not fare well in this analysis. I felt as though I was watching Thompson try to put together a jigsaw puzzle made up of a million tiny pieces, scattered all over the globe. Many of the details he has uncovered are completely unknown to most Americans. I found myself moved at times nearly to tears, and at other times driven to anger. Not only do I recommend this documentary, I intend to buy my own copy and show it to anyone who will watch!

This film is necessary to watch if someone wants to know what facts were left out of the official 9/11 Commission Report. While steering clear of conspiracy theories and "what-if" scenarios, this film nonetheless explains much of what has been missing from our national discussion about the terrorist events of that day. All in all, the film is a damning examination of Bush Administration officials who got spanked by the now-famous Jersey Girls for doing less for U.S. citizens than they did for themselves and the Bin Laden family. Truth to power. That President George W. Bush has still not admitted what this film, and its many contemporaneous news sources, proved about his actions shows him to be a liar or an incompetent.

This was an amazing documentary! I've seen Loose Change and several other documentaries that imply the same things as this one, however (no offense Dylan Avery) none of the documentaries that have come before this have been so professionally produced and edited. This one actually cites the SOURCE of the information. They not only speak to family members and witnesses but, as I said, they provide credible sources for every bit of data they produce. This is a documentary based in FACT and not Fantasy. It raises real questions and provides real proof. The people of our country should DEMAND answers.

On a side note I find it a bit interesting, and insulting that IMDb places this at the bottom of the page for this title: "Recommendations If you like this title, we also recommend...

Watch the Skies!: Science Fiction, the 1950s and Us (2005) (TV)" Please... this is NOT science fiction and we do not run around wearing tin foil hats and camping out at area 51. That is ridiculous and insulting. Imagine how the family members in this documentary would feel knowing that some people consider their cause to be equal to some UFO Sci-Fi garbage.

I've seen some of the other videos out there about 9/11, and this one is the best in describing in detail, the "timeline" of events leading to that day. If you combine the facts, make your own mind up. It's a mind-bending set of facts and like everyone, the world over, I was watching the events unfold, and the "facts?" that the US government released in a matter of days after 9/11 but, had no knowledge it was going to happen and had no intention on acting on dead set Intel that a threat was there. I hope that human beings, no matter what country you live in, band together to find the truth. If they spent 100 Mill (us) trying the find out if Clinton screwed Monica, why only spend 14 Mill, on the commission into 9/11? Closer to home, Australia supporting the US in the "fight", the pricks should have been looking closer to home. Australian's should also fight for the truth, for the US government to declassify all information regarding Bin-Laden. We lost 23 and wounded 168 men, so Bush and his whole stinking government can act All Powerful, and as if they are doing something, but really just wan the power (of course, getting Sadam and the oil as a bonus) Daddy Bush would have been proud! If the US is so powerful, and we just let everyone involved go free with their lives, family, kids, when they are 6ft under and someone spills their guts - it's gunna be too flipping late to fry em then ain't it! One day, Some One, will refuse to live with the secret anymore and they will let it out, I just hope firstly that whoever orchestrated, arranged or had any part (Bush, Condoleezza Rice and Dick Chaney) in the attack are alive to face the firing line and I'm alive to see it!

I'm glad I'm Ausralian. We might have Gillard as the face of our government until she over steps the mark and they boot her out, but at least we wouldn't have believed the bullshit like the American people did. It was fed to them by Bush, Rice and Dick. You have a small group of Gov Officials that feed you the story and they expect you to believe them - There are so many questions, still unanswered by the people that know and IF asked, they are dodged, or answers that are full of hot air.

If there's footage of the plane hitting the pentagon, instead of just 1 second after - release it Bush, that's about 1,000 questions answered in a manor of 10 seconds of video on the building that has more CCTV cameras than any other.

Guys, watch this Doco, it's got the facts, then make up your own mind. Watch the others.... It's a mind-blower when you combine all the facts, not hot air.
