I have seen this in its entirety. I think it's a great piece of low-budget film-making by a couple of BU film students. The film raises and makes a number of good points.
Someone asked me if this inferred that John O'Neill was involved in the "conspiracy"; my response was "no", and that I've never seen anything that implied that he was anything but what he was... an FBI agent dedicated to tracking OBL and al-Qaeda and who got significant interference from superiors in his efforts. John O'Neill, in this instance, becomes a metaphor for the whole question.
This movie, along with Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime, and the flawed-but-popular Loose Change (a new edit is in the works) form the main effort at the grass roots level for people to communicate about this subject. There are many makies DVD copies of these films and giving them away. There is a concerted effort on the part of many to "swift boat" people who are speaking out on the 9/11 issues. Interestingly, one of those most recently speaking out ("this dog won't hunt") is a decorated former Lt. Col, USMC (Retired) who served as Deputy Asst. SecDef under Reagan, is Judge Advocate General-certified, and has written widely on prayer in the military and in schools, and on homosexuality in the military.

I got to see part of this on my lunch and was a little surprised at the way the doc is presented. It's more like a low budget movie designed to present factual information in a more palatable manner.

This is a good one.
And it does make you want to know the answer to the title question (although we already know it).
I like Loose Change too, but for a few pickyune moments (there are always those, and the others mentioned.
Every little bit picks up another and another and one day so many will believe, but who knows when that day will come and what Bushfamily will do to stop that day from arriving
