Loose change is a conspiracy film about the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. It was written and directed by Dylan Avery and became an internet sensation. Prior to watching it in class, I had seen it online and dismissed the film as ludicrous. However, two years later, as I watched it in class I didn’t focus so much on the supposed conspiracy as I did the critique of the government. As I was watching the film I became very angry at the arrogance of the Bush administration.
The bush administration used stereotypes and xenophobia to manipulate an already divided nation into a war. The documentary addressed many unanswered questions. From practical problems such as the location of the debris of the plane that hit the pentagon, to questions of political connections. As an American who takes pride in my country, and loves my country, I was insulted by the sheer betrayal of our rights.
