Editorial Review:
The political becomes personal in 9/11: Press for Truth, which examines the World Trade Center attacks from the perspective of the families who lost loved ones. Written and directed by Ray Nowosielski, the documentary draws partly from Paul Thompson's website-turned-book, The Terror Timeline, and much of the commentary comes from Lorie Van Auken, Patty Casazza, and Mindy Kleinberg, three of the "Jersey Girls." Along with Kristen Breitweiser, the 9/11 widows have become activists in its wake. As Casazza says, "We all had questions...and wanted answers." The primary one was: How could this happen? Interestingly, two of the women voted for Bush. Casazza adds, "Even though he should have been our biggest advocate, he turned into one of our biggest adversaries." Together with eight other spouses, parents, etc., they form the Family Steering Committee and lobby for an independent commission, which comes to pass, but fails to deliver the goods. The widows find more useful information in Thompson's timeline, which he compiled using material in the public domain (Thompson also appears in the film). The style of 9/11: Press for Truth couldn't be more conventional--talking heads, television footage, omniscient narrator, relentless score--but the personal approach makes it a valuable addition to the rapidly-growing list of 9/11 documentaries. The point is, to quote Patti Smith, "people have the power"--people like the Jersey Girls, Paul Thompson, and all the other ordinary citizens who have kept pressure on our elected officials and the news media to dig deeper and work harder. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Although independent investigations began within weeks of both Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination the same was not true of the attacks of September 11th. Most are unaware that formation of the 9/11 Commission was strongly opposed by many in Washington including the Bush administration. It was only due to pressure from the 9/11 families led by a particular twelve calling themselves the Family Steering Committee that fourteen months after the attacks the first hearing finally began. These twelve remained active in monitoring the Commissions investigation providing a list of hundreds of specific well-researched questions to the Commissioners. In the end the 9/11 Commission Final Report failed to answer seventy percent of them.In 9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee including interviews with three of the Jersey Girls tell their story for the first time providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigation. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by Harper-Collins as The Terror Timeline) the filmmakers stitch together rare overlooked news clips buried stories and government press conferences revealing a pattern of official lies deception and spin.

Rating:  - Single best film on 9/11
No single film can or does cover every issue;books are better at covering all of the details anyhow. That being said, "9/11: Press For Truth" is, in my opinion the single "best" film on 9/11.
Other that I highly recommend include:
Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of Our Republic
The puzzling collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7

Rating: - A good start-show it to your friends and family
This is an excellent documentary for it's focus on hard research. It exposes the 911 cover up in a reserved, hard research type approach. It focuses on the struggle that victims families went through to even have an investigation done! (911 Commission Report), then explores the fact that the mechanics of the events of that day point to government complicity, then exposes some of the money trails leading to Pakistan. Someone said it merely scratches the surface, and it does. It is not the most complete ... Read More
Rating: - The Truth Will Out?
9/11 has become an Internet phenomenon. There are over 30 million websites, blogs, forums and films devoted to the subject. 20 Million people have watched a documentary on the Internet called "Loose Change" which attacks the official version of the events of that day. The movie moguls have taken notice. The documentary is a hit!
There are a multitude of "Documentaries" on the Internet that purport the atrocities of 9/11 were an inside job or false flag operation. A government plot to unify the ... Read More
Rating: - Telling the unspeakable to deaf ears
I watched this documentary last night -- and though it was excellent. It really doesn't take too much research to find out what really happened - and more importantly - what didn't happen on 9/11.
This film has done an excellent job of putting in one place all the key points that must be ignored for the official 9/11 legend to remain intact.
One thing that I feel this film did (perhaps) a poor job of, is not mentioning the American side of the equation that facilitated the free movement ... Read More
Rating:  - David Ray Griffin & Loose Change = Government Paid Disinformation Shills
Considering nobody paid any attention to DRG until he tapped into the lucrative conspiracy market with his "The New Pearl Harbor," or to the three stooges of the Loose Change video, Dylan Avery, Korey Rove, Jason Bermas, any independent observer must conclude that they were conscripted by the Bush administration to create dissent and confusion about 911.
With the help of DRG and the Loose Change dolts, Americans are distracted from the obvious inherent flaws in the U.S. intelligence and air defense ... Read More
