The Reflecting Pool (2008) -- An investigation of the 9/11 events by a Russian-American journalist and a father of a 9/11 victim implicates the US government in the attacks. ALEX PROKOP (Jarek Kupsc), a successful journalist, receives a rare 9/11 video tape revealing new information on the attacks. The footage was sent by PAUL COOPER (Joseph Culp), a driven researcher, whose daughter died on 9/11. Sensing a good story, Prokop travels with Cooper to New York and Washington, DC, where they uncover suppressed information about the attacks and their aftermath. . As Cooper introduces Prokop to key eye-witnesses, the façade of the "official story" begins to crumble. We follow Alex and Cooper as they investigate the inexplicable collapse of the 47-story WTC Building Seven, disprove the implausible airliner "attack" on the Pentagon, and uncover the illegal destruction of physical evidence from Ground Zero. Plagued by the ghosts of his Communist childhood and trying to uphold the independence of American journalism, Alex's search for the truth leads to a dangerous and shocking realization—The terrorists did not act alone. THE REFLECTING POOL is an intense, sobering investigation into the most controversial tragedy of our time. Drawn from established sources and based on verifiable facts, THE REFLECTING POOL is a thought-provoking study of a search for truth and the profound consequences of not looking for it any further than the nightly news.

9/11 Supercharger, 21 July 2008
10/10
Author: EmmanuelPerson from France

This film is the perfect medium to get people thinking about 9/11, the event, the contradictions and its legacy. It manages to pack so many astounding facts about 9/11 and present them in a gripping manner.

I especially like the way viewers get to live through the hurdles faced by other concerned journalists and citizens investigating 9/11. For example, the hit-piece by the "Bare Facts" O'Reilly-esk news sequence with the sullying 'expert' is very fitting.

Producing a movie on such a controversial and under-reported topic must've been tough. But it was well worth it and should be an inspiration to all of us.
