Press for Truth

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 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.

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.

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.

i don't comment often on movies here, but this documentary is an extraordinary exception to the rule. i've seen a lot of the 9/11 stuff out there - from countless news shows, investigative reports and documentaries on mainstream media here in Europe as well as in the States to the pretentious and self-indulging "fahrenheit 911" and even to the far-out Alex Jones and "loose change" stuff. this is the first movie that asks exactly the right questions in an objective, detached and unbiased way (except if you consider the search for truth as some kind of bias).. i guess it should have been expected that in the end only the families (and in large part the strong and courageous women in those families) would be able to muster the necessary efforts for this quest for truth..

having received an academic education i tend to be careful about claims without proof or indication to the source.. i wasn't there and therefore i don't know what exactly happened on 9/11, but throughout human history being somewhat skeptical to the official version has always served societies best. the approach of this movie, the families of the 9/11 victims and the "timeline project" of Paul Thompson come closest to scientific research given the financial and organizational limits of ordinary citizens and independent reporters..

the movie doesn't give answers and will most likely be rejected by the nowadays thriving conspiracy theory community.. it doesn't rely too much on emotions or dwell on human pain and therefore will most likely miss the attention of a mainstream audience.. it only gives a brief but nevertheless important account of established hard facts and the still unanswered questions that arise as a result.

since 9/11 has been the catalyst for not only going to war in Iraq, but also changing and abolishing many laws that were created to protect the civil liberties of Americans and Europeans alike the importance of this event can't be overstated. therefore i can only recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in an mostly accurate overview of what still needs answering in regard to this tragic event.

as 9/11 will dominate the political agenda for years to come it is IMHO paramount to demand those questions answered and have some accountability realized in politics as well as in the media. we owe it to our children to ensure that not just SOME measures are taken against the threat of terrorism but that it's the RIGHT ones.. to ensure that not just ANY countries are invaded by our troops but the RIGHT ones.. only if those decisions are made on a sound foundation will there be success in the war on terror and future generations can live in a world made safer by our emancipation from official versions of world events and the unanimously consensual corporate media...
