REVIEWS
“Everywhere the eyes and ears turn there are eyewitnesses and news reporters, there on the day, describing what sound like bombs, time-controlled explosions of the kind one experiences in a planned demolition. And watching, the towers crumble, it’s hard to imagine any other explanation.” — Jeff Mahoney, Hamilton Spectator
“A tour de force . . . Walter’s direction admirably portrays MacQueen’s nobility by having Graeme narrate his life’s work . . . The result is a very powerful and important lesson in personal courage and historical truth.” — Edward Curtin
SYNOPSIS
In a wide-ranging interview filmed six months before his passing, lifelong peace activist Graeme MacQueen shares his final words on 9/11, the 2001 anthrax attacks, and the goal of abolishing war.
Drawing from his depth of knowledge as a professor of peace studies, MacQueen illuminates the concept of war as an all-encompassing parasitic system that depends on triggering events — sometimes natural but often managed or even manufactured — to move from a cold to a hot phase.
Within this framework, MacQueen presents his analysis of the back-to-back 9/11 and anthrax attacks. He argues that both attacks were deceptions perpetrated by the same group of actors for the purpose of launching the global war on terror and breathing new life into the war system — a path we are still on and living the consequences of today.
Directed by Ted Walter and Rich Heap.
