First review for great new 9/11 documentary

[paulthompson]

Here's the first review of 9/11: Press for Truth, the new 9/11 documentary that I'm featured in. It's too bad the BS ABC documentary full of completely made up "facts" will be watched by millions while few know about this film. Help get the word out!

***1/2 9/11: THE PRESS FOR TRUTH
Documentary by Ray Nowosielski

By Jay Carr
The anti-Bush backlash will be stoked by "9/11: The Press for Truth." Ray Nowosielski's documentary tranchantly makes the point that the Bush regime has a lot to answer for, starting with why it didn't take seriously the many pre-9/11 warnings of an imminent terrorist attack involving aircraft. It adds that the 9/11 Commission investigation was stonewalled by the administration, that it wasn't until public pressure generated by the 9/11 widows nicknamed The Jersey Girls that administration officials grudgingly testified, and then minimally, with Bush and Dick Cheney agreeing to do so only behind closed doors and not under oath.

Was there a cover-up? The film asks, riding the book "The Terror Timeline" by Paul Thompson, who shames most other so-called journalism by digging into available material and asking pointed questions. One of the most explosive has to do with the assertion that the money for the 9/11 hijackers was funnelled through the head of Pakistani intelligence, and that this was covered up, as was Osama bin Laden's escape into Pakistan when Tora Bora was surrounded on only three sides and an air corridor to Pakistan was left open. It's hard to dispute the film's conclusion that without candor, without answers, without accountability, our understanding of 9/11 remains frustratingly incomplete, whether by administration design or not.

2. I hope you'll let us know what time on RR.

3. ABC should be humiliated by their actions. Apparently they're too far gone

to even notice their shame. Time to move on and leave them by the wayside. I can't remember the last time I turned on ABC. It is a shame they have access to our airwaves and this doesn't, but their advantage will not prevent the truth from getting out anyway.

Are you organizing house showings as well as theaters, the way Robert Greenwald does?
Tie scheduled house showings in with designated forums and there could be an even better community buzz.

K & R, can't wait to get the dvd and pass it around.

[paulthompson]

4. Yes, we are

Go to the official website and check out the list of showings, including house parties. Sign up there also to host your own house party.

Also, here's another movie review I just noticed, from a blogger who got an advanced copy:

8. Here's a couple of links about the ABC miniseries

No commercials and they're giving it away on the Internet for free:

It portrays Bush and Rice as "vigilant" and "aggressive" before 9/11:

9. "Bush and Rice as "vigilant" and "aggressive" before 9/11:

I would laugh at this if it weren't so freakin' pathetic.

[blm]

18. What's NEVER reported is that Barbara Bodine is a longtime Bush loyalist

and that Clinton KEPT HER ON because of her supposed expertise - expert BFEE operative, as far as I have ever seen - neckdeep in their oil region machinations.

10. Good review

Congratulations.

How do you plan on getting the movie shown? Are you looking at theatrical distribution, broadcast, DVD....

Let's talk more about this. My doc is just starting theatrical distribution and will be showing in the ITVS doc series on PBS in February '07.

[paulthompson]

11. thanks

Very limited theater distribution plus DVD sales and house parties. It'll be shown on TV in some places overseas. You can see more at the website. If you have any ideas of how to get it out there to a wider audience, please let me know.

[Catrina]

16. Send it to ABC and demand they show it also ~ in fact, maybe we can

all write in asking them to air your movie also ~

[paulthompson]

In a better world that might happen. :(
