Loose change - 9/11 documentary update
July 20th, 2006 by Zsofia
The second edition of “Loose Change” is now out out on DVD, for those who want a high-quality version of the provocative 9/11 documentary which has been a Top 100 Google Video success since its first upload in April 2005.
The film implicates the US government in the planning and execution of 9/11, using evidence derived from news footage, and interviews with eyewitnesses and survivors. The film unwraps a very convincing version of the truth using common sense logic. It was made by 22-year-old Dylan Avery of Oneonta, New York, on a string budget of $8,000.
The inspiration for the film came from a photograph of a controlled building explosion seen alongside the collapse of the Twin Towers - and the similarities were just too obvious for Avery to ignore. With over 3 million views on the internet, the film has been subtitled into several languages by volunteers, and released on DVD.

In a two-part Channel 4 documentary, Richard Dawkins makes a “visual” intervention in the religion vs. science debate. The author of bestselling books “The Selfish Gene”, and the “God Delusion”, Dawkins now experiments with the documentary format to challenge what he calls a “process of non-thinking, called faith”.
