Aftermath: Unanswered Questions From 9/11 DVD
This film posees questions that continue to overshadow and critically challenge the administraition's official version of the story, and is a must see for those who continue to question the terrible and as yet unexplained events of that day. The film delves into a troubling span of issues including: the negligence of military officials in reacting to the hijackins, proven links between the hijackers; Pakistani intelligence (ISI), and the CIA; the role of oil in the Eurasian conflict; and the impact of post-911 legislation on American civil liberties. Extras include over 90 minute of bonus footage, extended interview clips, and live panel discussion from the S.F. screening.
This documentary addresses the plethora of issues that have been raised in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001. Turning a critical eye to the actions of George W. Bush's government before, during, and after the tragedy, director Stephen Marshall has assembled a collection of experts to address questions that have been overlooked in the turbulence of the times. He exposes connections between the hijackers, Pakistani intelligence (ISI), and the CIA, and examines the role that a hunger for oil has played all along. The decreasing freedom of an American population expected to forfeit its civil liberties without complaint is also explored, as well as the silencing of critical opposition to the official story. George Soros, the founder of Open Society Institute, and Michael Ruppert, editor of FROM THE WILDERNESS, are only a couple of the voices included here, all of whom are unafraid to ask the unpopular, difficult questions about that tragic day.
