SEPTEMBER 11TH FILM FORUM KICKS OFF “REFRAMING 9/11″ CITIZENS INQUIRY
Cynthia McKinney headlines documentary film exhibition and inquiry
(Manhattan) Two years after the World Trade Center attacks, a documentary
film exhibition and panel featuring former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
is to seriously challenge the official story and response to 9/11. The
post-film panel will also examine alternative but credible narratives for
what happened that day and why.
(The urgent timeliness of this conversation is only accentuated by the US
media’s current censorship of longtime UK Environment Minister MP Michael
Meacher’s explosive “US complicity” charges Saturday in The Guardian.

The “REFRAMING 9/11″ public inquiry will begin Thursday, September 11th at
6 pm at Riverside Church with the screening of “Aftermath,” a film which
poses eleven unanswered questions about 9-11. This showing is part of a
coordinated “Aftermath” screening that is taking place simultaneously in
over a dozen cities across North America, including Toronto, Vancouver,
San Francisco and Eugene, OR.
This event is sponsored by 9-11 CitizensWatch and Pacifica Radio’s WBAI
FM. 9-11 CitizensWatch is a watchdog group actively monitoring the
government’s official “National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the
United States” and conducting parallel investigations of its own.
Among the other headliners: Ray McGovern, a retired CIA analyst, has
attracted a nationwide following for his research with Veteran
Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. Michael Ruppert, a former
narcotics investigator with the LAPD, publishes “From the Wilderness”
subscribed to by 35 members of Congress. John Judge is a co-founder of the
9-11 CitizensWatch. Dr. Faiz Khan is a leader in New York’s Muslim
community. He also served as a triage doctor at Ground Zero. Danny
Schechter is an Emmy Award-winning producer/director formerly with 20/20
and CNN.
The film exhibition and panel kicks-off “REFRAMING 9/11″, a September 12-
14 weekend forum, sponsored by WBAI and Big Medicine’s “Ain’t that Good
News!” Project. The conference will examine the dangers and abuses of the
a broad post-9/11 agenda being advanced by the Bush Administration.
Best-selling author Gregory Palast, author William Rivers Pitt, former
Asst. Secretary of Housing under Bush 41 Catherine Austin Fitts, Emmy
Award winner Danny Schechter, and Dr. Vandana Shiva are among many others
who will be participating.
FILMS TO BE SHOWN ON THE 11TH INCLUDE:
“Aftermath: Unanswered Questions from 9/11,” by the Sundance Award-winning
Guerrilla News Network (gnn.tv). This hard-hitting film queries 10 diverse
authorities about ten of the most persistent public questions about 9-11.
Victim family member Mindy Kleinberg compelling testimony before the 9/11 National Commission.
“Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death,” by Irish filmmaker and former BBC
producer Jamie Doran documents the story (and media cover-up) of three
thousand Afghan prisoners of war were forced into sealed containers by US
Special Forces and later found in a mass grave.
“The Great Deception,” from a syndicated series by Canadian media critic
Barry Zwicker, divulges new (to US audiences) evidence about alternative
motives for the 9-11 attacks.
