Synopsis:
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 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 Harper-Collins as The Terror Timeline), the filmakers 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.
