Call scores big in my book, 1 October 2005
9/10
Author: coreyarmideo from United States

A great documentary with a great social message. Man's humanity toward man. Perhaps it will be tough for Answering The Call to compete with Morgan Freeman and his Penguin pals, but if I were voting for best documentary of the year, it would be the one produced by Angeli and Dubin.

A side note: It is interesting how two of the posted "reviewers" have made their way from site to site posting the same review of Answering The Call. In their desperate attempt to take shots at Scientology they have knowingly discredited the entire rescue operation and the many good people who responded to New York on 9/11 -- including the Scientologists. I volunteered as a firefighter and EMT, along with 40,000 of friends and colleagues at Ground Zero, including the 800 volunteer ministers.

If anyone's been brainwashed, it's these two cats, who believe that man is inherently bad. Go see the movie boys, because you sure as heck didn't see the film that was shown in theaters on 9/11.
