A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995

I would definitely recommend this documentary, especially for people who enjoy true crime and conspiracy theories. It starts out slow, but by the end of the documentary, it really makes you think about a number of inconsistencies that were reported by the government.

This documentary stands as a monument to those that lost their lives needlessly in the Oklahoma City bombing.

As if speaking from the dead the souls lost that dreadful day are finally heard through the voices of the rescuer's, the Police, the witnesses and the surviving family members in their call for a proper investigation!

Shockingly this film reveals to us that the official story is a cancerous lie that needs to be cut out of the history books. It also makes obvious that only when the truth is known will the victims finally have closure and be able move towards justice.

The main reason I found this documentary so outstanding is its respect for those it represents; honouring the subject without arrogance and clearly wary of sensationalism or theorising. A "Noble Lie" lets the facts and the eyewitnesses do the talking; which is why its a must see!"

The film was a bit slow to start off. The intro was well done and grabbed my attention for the first few minutes but it jumped into what seemed like a whole lot of "here-say" from eyewitnesses. i was beginning to lose interest (having been spoiled by the overwhelming hard hitting quick facts from documentaries like "Loose Change").

The movie took a turn for the better when they started getting into the facts of the bombing, the inconsistencies, etc. Once the movie hit this stride, it became more and more interesting while infuriating at the same time. watching it i felt like i was duped by the "official" story.

Overall it was a great film that didn't force an opinion on you but laid out all the evidence for you to analyze.

Other films and books i'd have to recommend if you're interested in these types of cover ups would be the following:

The truth is stranger than fiction my friends, don't believe everything you're told to believe.

It's America, there's a tragedy or outrage, so obviously you look for the conspiracy. If it's South it must be them damn Yankee Feds. If it's North it must be them damn gun toting rednecks of the NRA. America has a conspiracy theory for everything from flat Earth to lunar landings. Long may it continue, might not stand up to critical examination, but it always intrigues you. As a Brit the main thing that got me is why the hell are ATF in the same building as a childcare centre, what next, FBI offices above the retirees home. We pour scorn on others we say are using human shields, no military, intelligence, or enforcement agency should be anywhere near these places.As for the basic premise it's the old story, possibility / probability / definitive. Depending on viewpoint you'll choose the one you prefer, I'll choose the wonderful Scottish cop out verdict - NOT PROVEN. :-)

I was very impressed with the way A Noble Lie tells the story of the OKC bombing. The film makers don't use cheesy sound fx, savvy editing or the like to add fluff here. Any documentary that does usually means the content is not strong enough to rest on its own. That is not the case with this one.

A Noble Lie uses physical evidence, eye witness testimony, media reports, and court documents to allow the viewer to come to their own conclusion. All in all it was very informative, and did not pile on too much at the same time. I would like to see some things discussed more in detail, like Tim McVeigh's interviews in prison, and I'm hearing a sequel is in the works, so hopefully that happens.

Any person with a critical eye that likes to think for themselves, I recommend checking this one out.
