John Duffy - Press for 9/11 Truth
Jul 17, 2023
John Duffy joins Ed Opperman to discuss the lasting impact of his documentary on the 9/11 attacks, and his continuing campaign for justice for the relatives of the victims.
Filmmakers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy first became interested in making a film about the September 11 attacks when they found Paul Thompson's Complete 911 Timeline website in spring 2003. After obtaining funding, they met Thompson in September 2004, who agreed to let them adapt his work.
The filmmakers also met Kyle Hence, who had co-founded 9/11 Citizens Watch, an advocacy organization which monitored the activities of the 9/11 Commissionon behalf of the public and was in close contact with the 9/11 Family Steering Committee. He agreed to join the production as executive producer (eventually also becoming a co-producer and co-writer), and in the spring of 2005, helped them get interviews with three of the "Jersey Girls" (widows of individuals killed in the attacks).
Production ended in December 2005, with post-production completed in July 2006.
The film premiered theatrically in September 2006 in New York Cityand the San Francisco Bayarea. It received a simultaneous limited DVD release in over fifty cities across America as well as Canada, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Australia, and Japan.
