Movie- Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? Opens April 18th

Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame, was a guest speaker at a Project Censored event a couple of years ago. I hoped to steer some of his efforts towards 9/11 Truth and spoke with him, giving him a copy of my DVD Behind Every Terrorist- There is a Bush and Deception Dollars. He didn't seem interested, and I doubted if he would watch the DVD or touch the subject.

I was very surprised to hear that he would be at Stanford University yesterday to speak with students, and that his new film - Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? would be opening this week. (During the Week of Truth) A look at the trailer and some of the articles/interviews with Spurlock made me nervous. It seemed like he missed the most obvious questions like - Was there any hard evidence connecting Osama Bin Laden to 9/11? Were Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda contrived media creations to replace the "communist threat" and to get support for wars against a new enemy "islamic terrorists"?

I went to Stanford to raise these questions. I also passed out Deception Dollars and 9/11 Fact sheets to a very responsive group of students, very interested in documentary film making.

Spurlock remembered me and admitted that he never watched my film, that he failed to ask the questions I mentioned and he suggested that I make such a film. "Watch my film!" he suggested and I suggested that he view mine. He also said that if you go into making a film without an open mind and the film doesn't change or evolve in the course of your film making then you have failed to listen and learn.

He seemed enamoured of the "boom boom" dangerous aspects of taking on the "enemy," being embedded with US forces in Afghanistan, surviving being shot at, and showing what we have in common with people living in other parts of the world.

My hopes for an enlightening film are greatly diminished, but it would probably behoove activists to target theatrical screenings with Deception Dollars, DVDs, and flyers.

Spulock did later ask me about when Loose Change Final Cut would be out, apparently he was aware of Loose Change and the potential for serious financial backing for wider distribution, but he obviously has not really approached or studied any of the movement's educational materials in depth. He didn't even seem to be aware of the fact that Osama Bin Laden wasn't on the FBI list for the crime of 9/11...

Agreed

After seeing the trailers for Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? I, too, became disappointed in the general tone of the film and concerned that it only reinforces the government myths of al-Qaeda and 9/11.

I will wait until I see the film before commenting further, but I do have grave concerns.

This film, and many others, do provide wonderful and fun opportunities for activism, though.

I would highly recommend handing out LCFC to those going to see a Morgan Spurlock film.

We also need to correlate economics with 9/11.

High gas and food prices --> Iraq Occupation ---> "War on Terror" ---> 9/11. Ask questions, demand answers.

Yes, it really is that easy.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

Spurlock's camera crew

Spurlock's camera crew interviewed us at the Chicago 9/11 Conference in the summer of 2006. I guess we wound up collecting dust on the cutting room floor, haha.

I heard an interview with M Spulock...

Expect a reinforcement of the "official" conspiracy theory.

I was greatly disappointed. Kinda like what we got with Philip Shenon's "The Commission".
