Truther or: I Am Not a Conspiracy Theorist (2019)
Truther or: I Am Not a Conspiracy Theorist is a three-part documentary that delves into the American conspiracy culture of 9/11 truthers. These individuals were the first group to have the label “truther” applied to them. Here are the key points from the documentary:
- Investigative Approach: The film takes a deep dive into the lives of 9/11 truthers, examining their grassroots advocacy at the World Trade Center in New York City. It also features the director of the viral Loose Change film series and the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
- Origins of the Label: The term “truther” gained prominence in the years following the September 11 attacks, which were a series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed in 2001 by 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda against targets in the United States. These attacks caused extensive death and destruction, triggering an enormous U.S. effort to combat terrorism.
Remember, understanding the complexities of conspiracy culture and critically examining historical events is essential for informed discourse. 🌐🔍
