In Their Own Words: The Untold Stories of the 9/11 Families
The "Jersey Girls," a group of 9/11 widows from New Jersey who pushed for the 9/11 Commission and later felt stonewalled by it, anchor this companion piece to 9/11 Press For Truth, built from over two hours of family interviews and news clips left out of that film. The families confront FBI Director Robert Mueller directly on camera over unanswered questions, and the film moves through a checklist of grievances: conflicting official accounts of where top officials were that morning, reports of insider trading in the days before the attacks, war games scheduled to coincide with September 11th, and the families' long fight to obtain the Pentagon's crash-site tapes. It also covers a British report disputing the FBI's list of hijackers, an FBI informant who had lived with two of the men later named as hijackers, and a Defense Department program said to have identified four hijackers a year before the attacks. Bin Laden extradition talks and the Project for the New American Century round out the material, presented through the testimony of the people who kept pressing for answers.
