9/11 Press for Truth
2006, 1hr 24min
Director: Ray Nowosielski Producers: Kyle Hence, Ray Nowosielski (and more, don't know how to word that exactly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0867134/ )

Following the attacks of September 11th, a small group of grieving families waged a tenacious battle against those who sought to bury the truth about the event—including, to their amazement, President Bush. In the award winning ‘9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH’, six of them, including three of the famous “Jersey Girls”, tell for the first time the powerful story of how they took on the greatest powers in Washington—and won!—compelling an investigation, only to subsequently watch the 9/11 Commission fail in answering most of their questions.

Adapting Paul Thompson’s definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by HarperCollins as ‘The Terror Timeline’), the filmmakers collaborate with documentary veterans Globalvision (‘WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception’, ‘Beyond JFK’) to stitch together rare overlooked news clips, buried stories, and government press conferences, revealing a pattern of official lies, deception and spin. As a result, a very different picture of 9/11 emerges, one that raises new and more pressing questions.

What actions were taken by top government officials who received dozens of specific warnings before the attack? Was Osama Bin Laden and his top al Qaeda leadership allowed to escape U.S. forces in Afghanistan? And what has been the reason for the deliberate obscuring of evidence for state sponsorship? Perhaps the most important one of all: Why, six years later, are so many of the families’ questions still unanswered?

Loose Change
2007, 1hr 29 min
Director, Editor: Dylan Avery Producers: Korey Rowe, Jason Bermas

Loose Change is controversial for those who believe in the official explanation of the 9/11 attacks as much as it is for those in the "9-11 Truth Movement." The film has evolved from its original version to a flashier presentation addressing errors and omissions from the suggestions by its popular following. Young filmmakers Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe and Jason Bermas created the film, which challenges the central dogma of the official story of 9/11, to have been initially explored through a fictional film about the conspiracy theories related to the events of 9/11. During Avery's research, he realized a documentary would be better suiting when he understood there was an actual cover-up.

The film presents arguments that 9/11 was an inside job, and that elements within the United States government planned and orchestrated the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This updated version of the film will certainly open minds and spark debate.
