I recorded the re-run yesterday of the filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet 9/11 documentary, it’s a fascinating piece of work about a momentous world event, that keeps you glued to the screen throughout its whole length.
I therefore await with eagerness, the screening of The Path to 9/11, a film that has already won praise at the Venice film festival. The Path to 9/11 is due to be shown on BBC 2 over two nights on the 10th & 11th of September. The film is based on the findings of the 9/11 commission and its investigation into what circumstance that led up to the attacks on the World Trade Center. Here are some background comments from Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer/producer of the film.
It will be interesting to see how the film portrays the intelligence community and their lack of ‘foresight’ in understanding what was happening in the run up to 9/11. Conversely, I wonder if there will ever be a film about what information the Intelligence community had that lead to the Iraq war!
The Path to 9/11 film is already having an impact with comments coming in about pressure from former Clinton Administration associates wanting to down the film before it is even shown. Set your alarms as this is one film not to miss.
