For 9/11: A list.
As we reach the (can it be five years already) fifth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, films can be useful for those seeking meaning, if not answers, and reflection. A host of films, both documentary and feature, have since been released - and will likely continue. Even the imperfect ones add good fodder for discussion; here are a good number of them:
- 9/11 ***½
- Fahrenheit 911 *** (and we should mention the anti-Michael Moore film Fahren-HYPE 911 - though they're both biased in their way, and Moore deserves some skewering, the latter is also pretty sloppily made and not particularly convincing)
- 11'09"01: September 11 ****
- Afghan Stories ***½
- Aftermath: Unanswered Questions from 9/11 ***
- Brothers...On Holy Ground ***
- Hijacking Catastrophe ***
- Power & Terror: Noam Chomsky In Our Times ***½
- 7 Days in September ***
- United 93 ****
- WTC View ***
- WTC: The First 24 Hours **½
- The Great New Wonderful **½
