Loose Change: 9/11 was an Inside Job

Loose Change was a film that was published online, to try and persuade into believing that 9/11 was an inside job.The project began as a script for a fictional thriller written by Dylan Avery, an 18-year-old aspiring filmmaker. "He translated his research, which was unfortunately mostly pseudoscience, into a documentary-style video essay that builds the case that Flight 93 didn't crash in a Pennsylvania field and that the World Trade Center fell in a controlled demolition" (Paulas). Loose Change does not necessarily as questions as much as it poses questions. According to Avery, Flight 93 may have been shot down by a missile, re-routed to an airport and had the passengers killed, or something else. Avery does not claim to know what happened, just that the accepted narrative doesn’t add up. This film was interesting because it mysteriously makes a little bit of sense. The way he gives the information, makes me feel like he has a good point, but at the same time it makes me think that there is no way it could be an inside job. Avery is now living in Los Angeles, and has a latest film, Black and Blue, which is a documentary he’s been making since 2013 about the rise of protests against police brutality in America.
