9/11: Press for Truth
by Ray Nowosielski
Key Cinemas

Directed by Ray Nowosielski, 9/11: Press For Truth is one of those rare creatures in modern media: a Sept. 11 study stripped of politics and partisanship. It’s the anti-Fahrenheit 9/11. No Democrats or Republicans, just ordinary citizens of all stripes trying to find the truth. You don’t need a judgmental overseer to make the infamous “My Pet Goat” incident look bad; the blank look in Bush’s eyes remains bottomless.

The main subjects are the Jersey Girls, a quartet of Sept. 11 widows who relentlessly demanded answers and inquiry from Congress, and Paul Thompson, an Internet researcher who has assembled an enormous archive of news stories, all trying to find answers, to find patterns in the chaos.

Ultimately 9/11: Press For Truth is an information-dense, taut procedural about the real job of journalism and intelligence, not about Deep Throat sources and grand gestures, but sifting through staggering amounts of information to find the connections. It provides no answers, only more questions that remain largely unasked, five years later.

It’s an indictment of intelligence services for their failure to make the connections, the political community for failing to follow up, the media for failing to stick to the crucial stories and, implicitly, of the entire public for failing in its responsibility to hold all of the above to account, for being willing to sit down, shut up and accept the official story.

1. Does it mention investigations of Saudi money trails being shut down

from up high within those agencies?
Last time i checked the failure of the intel agencies was part of the official story.

They failed alright, the dispute is over what caused them to fail. It looks like certain parts did not fail while others did.
Not to mention that the 9-11 Commission concluded the money trails behind 9-11 weren't really that important. Small surprise they didn't investigate those trails.

2. What is meant by anti-Fahrenheit?

Mr. Moore's comments are politically charged, but the footage is what the footage is - I hardly see it as it's been labeled lately (as liberal-biased crap). Mr. Moore got a real bad shake on his film methinks.

3. dunno anything about it other than the review

but being a longtime albeit former Hoosier thought it worth mentioning to the forum. i'll see if i can find out more about it. i thought it looked promising at first glance, though the "anti-Fahrenheit" language is a hindrance.
