2 Movies, 1 full of lies, 1 with the Truth, both released Simultaneously?
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 06:44 AM by Philosoraptor
the ABC lie docudrama movie, "Path to 9-11" comes out at exactly the same time as the documentary, "9-11, Press for Truth". Was the ABC propaganda lie movie made and released TO COUNTERACT the truth documentary? One has to wonder.

Does the timing not seem odd? Both released just before the fifth anniversary of bush's failure to find Osama, one that blames the previous administration, one that damns the current one. Coincidence?

WATCH THE TRUTH HERE:

3. A bit off topic, but I can't get the google videos to work
After I click on the link to the google videos posted, the page loads, says with error and I have no video. All the content ends up to the far right side of the screen and none of the links work. I would love to watch this video. Any ideas why this is happening? I watch youtube videos just fine.

thanks............

7. Thanks, nice to know I'm not alone
I thought when google video first started I was able to watch them, but now, nada. On the upper left of the page I noticed it said "beta" so wondered if they changed something and that's why now I can't view them.

8. But is it coming out on national television in prime-time?
You can't compare a movie in a theatre with a movie on national television. Unless they show this movie on TV, too, it's unbalanced.

12. we need to break even... that is a must...

this was funded by regular people making a donation here and a donation there, but there were some that gave us a little bit of money as an investment and we have to pay them back... beyond that, I own no points in the film. i was approached to write some of the screenplay, and I agreed to do it for free. everyone involved, minus the editing team, worked for free.

i make no money either way, but the investors have to be paid back... and we have to pay them back, or rather, the filmakers do... we were given production studio time on credit, all of the footage researched and such was not entirely free, all of the crew in each city at each interview... all of it was either on loan or we borrowed to pay them... no one is looking to make a fortune here... i had hoped, however, that they wold break even. so your choice is not a fair one... not considering how much time and work and soul went into this and how the key people involved all worked for free, all flew to locations on their own dime and so forth.

11. 5 year anniversary of 9-11 & no coincidence that a lot of broadcast
programming regarding the event is scheduled at this time.

Is the idea that a major network would schedule a so-called "historical docudrama" of a national disaster at its anniversary so unimaginable? Instead, it must have been that ABC got wind years ago of a group of folks struggling to scrape by to produce an indie documentary that might or not not be completed in any particular timeframe that motivated ABC to spend tens of millions to produce the film and air it at the 9/11 5th aniversary?

NBC also had a miniseries planned but it dropped out last year due to projected costs and ABC's competing film. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117925208?categoryid=14&cs=1 Interestingly, Peter Lance, author of "Cover Up," was a consultant http://www.peterlance.com/ and Ron Howard's/Brian Glazer's production company, Imagine, was to make the NBC film. (Imagine produced "Apollo 13." The exec producer for ABC's film gave the world "Legally Blond.")

I highly recommend 9/11 Press for Truth and laud the filmmakers for their tenacity, dedication and skill. But really, to seriously suggest that ABC produced and scheduled its film to specifically target and compete with this one documentary is stretching it just a tad.

And again, while Press for Truth is currently available online (and yes, that is a copyright violation), encourage people who can afford to to buy the DVD via the Press for Truth link so they can at least break even on production costs. http://www.911pressfortruth.com/dvd

For those DU'ers who may have local progressive talk shows, contact the program/host and tell them about 9/11 Press for Truth, give them links to the documentary's website and ask them to contact someone associated with the film and have them on the air to talk about it. Get the word out.
