9/11: A Conspiracy Theory (2011)

9/11: A Conspiracy Theory (2011) is a brief, satirical documentary by James Corbett that offers an alternative perspective on the official account of the September 11, 2001, attacks. In just five minutes, the film critiques the mainstream narrative, highlighting inconsistencies, contradictions, and unresolved questions about the events.

Key points explored in the documentary include:

  • The hijackers and their alleged ability to execute the attacks with surprising ease, despite existing security measures.
  • The collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, including Building 7, which fell despite not being struck by an airplane.
  • The absence of definitive evidence connecting the attackers to recognized terrorist organizations.
  • The U.S. government’s swift military response, involving the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, alongside policies like the Patriot Act that significantly expanded government surveillance.

Using a satirical tone, Corbett examines the roles of intelligence agencies, potential government foreknowledge, and the financial interests that may have gained from the attacks. Delivered in a fast-paced, straightforward style, the documentary blends humor with investigative commentary, urging viewers to critically assess the official version of 9/11 and explore alternative viewpoints.
