DOC NITE PRESENTS:

911, DUST AND DECEIT AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER

This disturbing film by Penny Little “911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC” exposes the continuing attack on NYC through interviews with scientists, waste management specialists, government workers, volunteers, the heros and victims of the dust which permeated the air after 911.

EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman announced to New Yorkers, shortly after the 911 attacks on the World Trade Towers that “. .I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington DC that their air safe to breathe” and that we “. . .need not be concerned about environmental issues as [we] return to [our] homes and workplaces” At that time, she didn't have the information to support those assurances or make recommendations. The White House itself, through its Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), actually manipulated the statements being released by the EPA so as to soft-pedal health concerns. Because of these misleading statements, and because the EPA bucked its legal responsibility and left the problem to the City, the public was put at risk. This is true even though the EPA reversed course in May of 2002 and initiated an extremely limited and flawed voluntary cleanup. There is evidence of a coverup, and a media blackout. Thousands of people are ill.

The impact of the environmental disaster after 911 will continue for years. The health of those who were exposed to the toxic dust and told that the "Air was safe to breathe" and the continuing coverup of the problems has not been adequately reported in the mainstream media. Those who were most affected are often the least able to get the help they need. In 911: Dust and Deceit at the WTC, Filmmaker Penny Little interviews numerous experts, victims, and ground zero workers.
