Trailer up for a 911 Families film
I was asked to rewrite parts of the script for this film. The trailer is now up, not the official trailer, but a temp trailer. Check it out on Google:

1. Where is it being released? Will it be
a sporadic in large cities first or general?

Wow. It will get a lot of attention. God bless those women, they will be the target of every wingnut out there. They have guts.

7. I know that the guy who distributed outfoxed picked this up
but I am not privy to details of distribution as I am a lowly writer... I did get a trip to NYC out of it and I got to work with some of the stars who were considered for narration, but other than that, I am not really in the loop on this one:) Just in the credits.

2. Wow...that is going to be powerful....
It will be interesting to see the outcry from the right....Ann Coulter will be in the forefront of course but they will openly attack the victims again and it will backfire on them..

Congrats....!!

5. actually, it does not talk
about what could have happened or any theories, it simply shows how the administration pushed back against the 911 families and how the 911 families made an investigation happen and the questions that they put forth, what was answered and what was not. it does not take a position. it let's everyone speak for themselves. my part was take all the interviews done of the Jersey girls for this film and to write a script for those interviews... the majority of the rest of the film is the war between the administration and the families, which includes every political party and affiliation. so it will be hard to attack frankly. plus many of the journalists and experts interviewed in the film are also conservative and also wanted an investigation, so again, hard to really attack when you see the administration's owns words... like the clip of Cheney saying "an investigation would interfere would the war on terror"

9. eh, i will be more than happy to take her on...
actually this is funny, Playboy wanted me to do the news for their XM show and one of the things they talked about was me and Coulter fighting in the mud... obviously this was not something I had an interest in, the mud fight that is. But any time, any place, I will debate her and I will do so on any topic. she is simply a media byproduct and she needs to be ignored so that she is flushed out of the media digestive system.

6. Can't wait to see it. And it's great to see Paul Thompson's work...
...recognized on film. He has steadfastly worked for the truth and I have always considered him an unsung hero.

8. oh, the DVD version will have many interviews that
they could not fit into the film, including Greg Palast, Helen T, Walter Cronkite, Gore Vidal, John Dean, and many others (although I may be speaking to soon as the fine cut does not include them, but the final cut might). In any case, they will be included one way or another.

25. Surely,you have a negative comment, No ?
What....... If this isnt in the 9-11 forum you wont try to debunk the OPer ?

Surely you will keep to tradition and try to debunk the thread or lead us off on a journey to fantasy land.

You are a self professed lawyer,pilot,physics scholar, draw a line in the sand OCTer.
Surely you cant agree with this vid.

Or have you done a complete 360 ?

22. well, let us hope...
I have no idea what happened on 911, but there is no question the election was stolen. Someone should make a documentary about that as well.

In any case, this is not like loose change and people may be disappointed. This is really about the families, their questions, and their fight to force an investigation. I was at a screening and there was not a dry eye in the house and people walked away understanding the need to question government in an open democracy, regardless of what people believe did or did not happen on that day. The reality of which I think is impossible to say with any certainty.

Aside from all that, I go where the story is... Ohio was and continues to be yet another ground zero in this perverted presidency. Okay, must go write up my op piece for deadline...thanks much btw.:)

31. Can't wait to see this film
Will it be shown in theaters or straight to DVD? Is there a release date? I hope it's by the 5th anniv of 9-11.

This will be a perfect compliment to the release of Kristen Breitweiser's book in Sept. BTW, I never knew that Kristen was suffering a serious health crisis in Sept 2001, that makes her courage to challenge the Bush and Repuke administration all the more remarkable IMHO.

In case any of you missed the info about the book.

Wake-Up Call: The Political Education of a 9/11 Widow by Kristen Breitweiser.



From Publishers Weekly
In September of 2001, Breitweiser had a tumor in her breast, was suffering from colitis and lupus and recovering from the death of her mother from cancer of the mouth. Then terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, killing her beloved husband and hundreds more. Devastated, the New Jersey stay-at-home mom became an activist, channeling her pain and rage into learning everything she could about the U.S. government's role in the attacks—an excruciating journey that is carefully chronicled in this emotionally charged memoir. Colloquial in tone, Breitweiser recounts how she and three widow pals—her fellow "Jersey Girls"—began lobbying the government to establish an independent 9/11 commission to explore all that went wrong that day. With narrative ease, the author, who has a law degree, breaks down complex arguments and political theories: one chapter is dedicated to a single footnote from The 9/11 Investigations, while another segment explains why negligence is cheaper than prevention for airlines and governments. But in episodes where she mouths off to Henry Kissinger and campaigns for the "awkward" John Kerry, her frustration palpably grows. Though not the most elegant storyteller, Breitweiser has produced a touching account of her history and ongoing mission that's bound to achieve prominence thanks to Ann Coulter's recent attacks on the author. (Sept.)

Book Description
"Sweets, I'm OK. I'm OK. Don't worry. It's not my building," said Kristen Breitweiser's husband on the phone from his office in the second tower. The call ended abruptly and Kristen stared at the television in horror as the second plane hit, and her life--and her country--changed forever. This is the deeply personal, often shocking and ultimately inspirational story of a woman left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by terrorism. With no husband by her side or father for her child, Kristen somehow found the strength within herself to embark on a journey that would lead first to the creation of the 9/11 Commission and then to her role as one of the country's most outspoken activists and critics of the current administration.
