9/11 Films
Dick Atlee,   1 October 2014
(back to 9/11 Resources)

This list is far from complete, or even comprehensive. Many more will have to be added. The films that are here -- feature films and films of presentations -- all effectively raise doubts about the official version of September 11, 2001. Some of the descriptions are written by me, some come from the films' sites, others are taken or adapted from reviews/descriptions on Amazon.

  1. 9/11 Blueprint For Truth: The Architecture of Destruction   (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, 2008)
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WHB8T8
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQgVCj7q49o
    The virtue of this video of slide presentation by Archictects and AE911Truth founder Richard Gage is that it sticks strictly to scientific (physical and chemical) analysis of what happened on September 11. Gage has been doing presentations to both the general public and engineers and architects all over the world for years, and everywhere he goes, an often largely-dismissive audience is almost completely convinced by the evidence that the official story is not only physically impossible, but has also been defended with scientific fraud.
  2. 9/11 Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out   (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, 2013)
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009KTIXEC
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzbABnP5uWU
    This documentary presents the overwhelming scientific forensic evidence for the explosive controlled demolition of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on September 11, 2001. It includes the testimony of 43 experts, including high rise architects, structural engineers, metallurgists, scientists, physicists and explosive experts, who lay out the scientific forensic evidence in the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 -- the third high-rise destroyed on 9/11. Their findings are startling. The 9/11 Commission, FEMA, and NIST (The National Institute of Standards and Technology) reports not only contain serious errors and omissions but are found to be outright fraudulent.
  3. 911 In Plane Site   (Dave vonKleist, 2004)
    Movie site: http://www.911inplanesite.com/
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00116VG46
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcbGIdeNnTQ
    This film analyzes the flights of 9/11 and their results, and raises the question of whether any any of the planes were the ones we were told they were. It is controversial because it raises and leaves open the question of what would have had to happen to the passengers on the real planes.
  4. 9/11 Let's Get Empirical   (David Ray Griffin)
    Movie site:
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00114O2U8
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbY5_qtz83M&list=PL97AAAE34CAC03402
    Retired theologian Griffin is the preeminent thinker & evidence compiler of the 9/11 Truth Movement. In this talk, based on his book Debunking 9/11 Debunking, Griffin rebuts Popular Mechanics and other defenders of the official conspiracy theory. Pointing out that most objections to the alternative theory, according to which 9/11 was an inside job, are based on purely a priori arguments and a propagandistic use of the term "conspiracy theory," he shows that if we get empirical about 9/11, we can quickly see that the official story cannot be true. Generously illustrated with graphics and video clips.
  5. 911 Mysteries. Part 1, Demolitions   (Sofia Shafquat, 2004?)
    Movie site:
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JLY0EC
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tBHe6hwQhc
    This film was the first well-produced video that I encountered that raised questions about 9/11. It got my attention, and I bought several hundered copies from the producer and distributed them far and wide. It has since come under attack for a variety of issues (as have many of these filmes), but still holds its place as a turning point, along with David Ray Griffin's book The New Pearl Harbor.
  6. 9/11 Press For Truth   (Ray Nowosielski et al, 2006)
    Movie site: http://www.911pressfortruth.com

    "The video to use to introduce your grandmother to 9/11"
    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.
    In 9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH, five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee tell their story for the first time on film, providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigation. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline, the filmmakers stitch together rare, overlooked news clips, buried stories, and government press conferences, revealing a pattern of official lies, deception, and spin.
  7. 9/11, The Myth and The Reality   (David Ray Griffin, 2006)

    Extra: Transcript
    David Ray Griffin condensed the highlights of his first two books on 9/11 -- The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report -- Omissions and Distortions -- into this dynamic presentation. It was given at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, California on March 30, 2006 to a sold out audience. A slightly shorter version of the same talk was given April 3rd at the prestigious Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, also to SRO audience. The two presentations were videotaped with six cameras at both locations, and seamlessly combined by 9/11 filmmaker Ken Jenkins, who also illustrated the film documentary-style with hundreds of graphics and video clips. Many consider this video to be the definitive Griffin 9/11 DVD. It serves as the Loose Change for the older generations.
  8. Anatomy of a Great Deception   (David Hooper, 2012)

    Extra: interesting extended review
    For ten years, successful entrepreneur and businessman David Hooper accepted without much thought the official version of what happened on September 11, 2001. Then he stumbled on a question about that day that didn't fit. What followed was a search that led from question to question, becoming an obsession which interrupted his plans for starting another new business and alienated his wife and friends. In an attempt to save these relationships, he made a film that documented his journey "down the rabbit hole," to help them understand. This is the film, and it worked.
  9. Behind the Smoke Curtain: What Happened at the Pentagon on 9/11, and What Didn't, and Why it Matters   (Barbara Honegger, 2014)
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAEH1Q4
    Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fvJ8nFa5Qk (3 hrs)
    Extra: 2-hour version
    This documentary is so incredible that it is hard to find the right words. Over a dozen years ago, as I watch 9/11 unfold I was dumbstruck. I believed the official story and shook my head in disbelief when people whispered that the official "terrorist only" story about 9/11 was all wrong. Over the years, the persistent questioning and the odd behavior of the US Government (i.e. going to wars based on obvious flaws in their story, Patriot Act, etc.) led me to look at the evidence again and again. When I looked, I could clearly see the explosive demolition of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers.
    When it came to the Pentagon, there were so many inconsistencies in the official story that it seemed impossible. I thought because the Pentagon controlled all of the information about what happen there that day, including collecting all copies of video tapes from neighboring buildings and refusing to release them, that the truth could never be pieced together. Barbara Honegger has proven that assumption wrong.
    She has pieced together information from interviews, videos and other sources to make it clear that the official story of a large commercial jetliner destroying multiple rings of the Pentagon (plane goes in this wall, go through the columns, go out that wall, go across the courtyard, go in the next wall go through the columns ... etc). The evidence of pre-planted explosives is overwhelming.
  10. Fahrenheit 9/11   (Michael Moore, 2004)

    Extra: The Official Fahrenheit 9/11 Reader
    Fahrenheit 9/11 is a searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11. With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks at how -- and why -- Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq -- and Fahrenheit 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families.
    Note: This film does not raise fundamental questions about what happened on 9/11, accepting the hijacking/airliners scenario, but it was instrumental in dislodging a large part of the American public from apathetic belief in the official version.
  11. Loose change 9/11 an American coup   (Dylan Avery, 2009)

    This is the fourth and final edition of what is acknowledged as the "blockbuster" of the 9/11 Truth Movement. There were many flaws in the first couple of versions, but they brought the issue to the awareness of a large part of the population (as evidenced by majorities of Americans believing the Bush administration knew more than it was telling about what happened. Subsequent versions have improved considerably, though from my point of view they have backed away from certain controversial aspects for which there is ample evidence.

    This groundbreaking film became a watchword of the early 9/11 Truth movement. It involved years of research, filming, interviews, and generally trying to figure out what the film should be. It was initially conceived in 2002 as a narrative feature film about three friends who realize there is a coverup of the events of September 11th. Research for the screenplay, largely guided by the 9/11 Timeline (which is now History Commons), quickly lent credence to the idea that a coverup was not so far fetched. Over the years, after several false starts and countless hours of research, the narrative feature was abandoned in favor of a documentary.
  14. Operation terror: the 9/11 story you are not supposed to know   (Olivier Productions, 2012)
    Movie site: http://www.operationterror.com/
    Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJLNQYY
    Online: not available
    What Oliver Stone's JFK did for the Kennedy assassination and Thirteen Days did for the Cuban Missile Crisis, this film attempts to do for 9/11. From my point of view as a fairly widely-read person familiar with the topic, the film has its flaws, but it is exceptionally well-produced and manages to draw in the threads of much of what is gradually becoming known about what actually went on surrounding those events. Given the untouchability of the topic in the mainstream media and much of the so-called alternative media, it is no surprise that Amazon doesn't carry it. As summarized by a reviewer"
    "Why has Operation Terror been banned from commercial movie houses -- while other commercial films and TV shows regularly spill state secrets by portraying actual top secret scenarios, at the behest of the intelligence agencies (or "rogue" covert ops teams) themselves? "The answer: Operation Terror cuts too close to the bone. Other action films may include real covert-ops secrets -- but this is done in order to "skunk" the revelation by smearing it with the stench of fiction. Example: If you claim that, in real life, CIA and US military people have tortured children in order to produce split-personality mind control slaves with psychic abilities including precognition, as former CIA Director Colby revealed to "Franklin cover-up" investigator State Rep. John De Camp, people will laugh and say: "Oh yeah, I saw something like that in 'Minority Report' with Tom Cruise."
    "Unfortunately for the 9/11 cover-up team, Operation Terror will have the opposite effect on public opinion. Non-9/11-truthers who watch it will be drawn into the plot, gradually realizing they've seen some of this before -- that in fact, the thriller they're watching is a fairly accurate portrayal of what really happened on 9/11...This well-made thriller has the potential to awaken huge numbers of people to the awful truth of 9/11."
