The look and style are great, very well done and thoroughly support the politics of the film.

In your words, your friend Barrie is an "acute political thinker". I'm sure this is true, but to my mind, his analysis, as represented by this excellent film, misses on one key point.

In the words of Noam Chomsky: "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

According to Barry, Sept 11 "was merely the pretext", for war and destruction. This view falls well within the spectrum of acceptable opinion, and actually re-enforces the status quo. A far more simple and logical explanation would be that Sept 11 was engineered and executed by the US Administration in order to generate a pretext for war. Everything we know about Sept 11, 2001 bears out this alternate hypothesis. Unfortunately, this simple truth lies beyond the realm of acceptable opinion.

Much has come to light since you posted this video. I'd be curious to know if Barry's take on 9/11 has evolved at all since you created this piece.

I am a sucker for using animaton and documentary together. I think the style is fantastic here, and reminds me in some ways of films like "The Corporation" which uses archive and motion graphics to consider the mepthor that the big corporations hold the same qualities of a psycopath. So, a big applause for this film. I would say however, that its exposition could have been thought through a little bit more; films like this with an overt polemic and agenda can often have an alienating effect by perhaps being slightly too bias, and have the danger of being percieved a wee bit of a rant. A subjective vision is one thing, but there is a slight danger here of it being too skewed. But lovely film, anyway!

A concise and current version of the world today led by the domination of the only remaining superpower. Great animation and voice over .
