"The coolest film organization in the world." —John Waters
Est. 1961.
This documentary chronicles the September 11th attack on the NYC World Trade Center. It features a series of interviews filmed in Vermont of responses to the disaster that have not been widely heard in the mainstream media. The film explores issues that center around the tragedy: root causes of the attack, the meaning of patriotism, the use of American military forces to protect US corporate interests in the Middle East, how America and US Government policies are perceived abroad, and the role of the media throughout this crisis. Included is footage recorded at Ground Zero shortly after the attack and again two months later.
79 minutes. 2003.
