9/11 Documentaries And Indecency

Neither of the Hollywood films concerning the events of 9/11 (UNITED 93 or WORLD TRADE CENTER) told the story of 9/11 as well as some of the superb documentaries that have dealt with the events of that horrible day.
[At least that's my opinion.]

The 2 best documentaries are IN MEMORIAM: NEW YORK CITY that aired on HBO and 9/11 done by two brothers from France who just happened to be there since they were doing a film about a probie at a firehouse close by.

CBS is airing 9/11 without commercials on September 10th.

If you can not bear to watch I highly recommend you record and save it. It's simply outstanding and should be seen by everyone.

Now, please enjoy this item just to see what a sad state our country is in.

CBS said Wednesday that when it rebroadcasts 9/11,
its Emmy and Peabody-winning documentary about the 9/11 attacks on September 10th, that it will air without commercials.

When it originally aired six months after the attacks, there were three breaks, used for public-service announcements and fundraising appeals.

The network said that the time will be used instead for updates and for interviews with some of the firefighters
who appeared in the original piece.

The documentary is facing the wrath of THE AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION (AFA), which charges that it "contains a tremendous amount of hardcore profanity."

The decision of the network to air it, the AFA said, "is a slap in the face to the FCC and Congress, which recently raised indecency fines to $325,000 per incident."

The group charged that CBS was using it as "a test case to see how far they can go. If there is no outpouring of complaints from the public, they will go further the next time."

It has asked its "3,054,720 supporters" to write to the FCC demanding that the indecency law be enforced and has warned that it will file a formal complaint against CBS and each of its affiliates if the broadcast goes ahead as planned.
