A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995

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.

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. :-)

This particular documentary gives the viewer an inside look into the missing pieces of an investigation that was fast tracked by the government, anyone alive at the time remembers how easily the pieces fit into the constructed explanation, with what amounted to the lone gunman theory. Worth watching if you're interested in finding out more about the events, using some archive footage the director weaves a masterpiece exposing the holes in the story whilst still meshing the interviews of those actually involved in the events. This documentary not only raises more questions it answers some, I highly recommend this film to people who like to look at situations from all aspects and don't always accept the manufactured answers we're given when such atrocities occur.

Watched it with an open mind, but as the journalist claims HE HIMSELF became the PIVOTAL part in a conspiracy where all smart people targeted the "proudly self educated masses" I came to a realisation:

Either he's severely delusional

OR HE'S A FRAUD. A marketing gimmick, trying to promote his own career.

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.
