'.....a documentary on the Twin Towers...'.
The word 'documentary' has been so debased in recent years by films such as the one you refer to, that it can now be appended to any badly argued and baseless farago of mis-information, that uses pseudo-science, flawed logic, an inability to realise that there will always be slight inconsistances in a narrative, and viewer credulity to perpetuate a illusionary take on the world that does a huge dis-service to the dead and their relatives.
A doctor writes: ' I always prescribe 'Voodoo Histories - How Conspiracy Theories Shaped Modern History' by David Aaronovitch, 'Counter-Knowledge- How We Surrendered to Conspiracy Theories, Quack Medicine, Bogus Science and Fake History', by Damian Thompson and 'Why People Believe Weird Things' by Michael Shermer, when a patient presents with an inability to accept that in this world shit happens.
