I've finally watched Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime. Compelling case.

Here's Larisa, again:

I attended a showing of a 911 film, called "Everyone's got to learn sometime," a documentary on 911 which was presented at Robert De Niro's Screening Room last week. The film is made on a low budget and so the production of it is not as one would expect from a better funded documentary. That said, it deserves to be seen if for no other reason than it was made, period. But it does raise questions we need to ask or at least consider.

There are no theories, just questions. There are no answers, just questions. The most powerful moment in the film comes in the now infamous scene of the President sitting in a Florida classroom. The way this film portrays that full episode has to be the most alarming thing I have ever seen.

I think this film needs to be seen. The director and all the volunteers associated with it are making no money from it and they don't expect to.

What they simply want is for this film to be seen. You need not agree with the documentary or with the questions raised, but you must contend that the movie deserves to be seen in a free society. I bring this last part up because of a few key issues:

On the day of the showing, the show was sold out, yet many seats were empty and no one could figure out why. Then it was noticed that the street was blocked off by police. It turned out that a "suspicious package" arrived a little while prior to the start of the film and people were unable to access the road because of the incident. In addition, there has been some previous harassment of the director, something that he can discuss better than I as I don't have all of the information.

Again, you need not agree with the questions or even the reason for a documentary on this topic. But if we are to live in a free society, this type of intimidation cannot be allowed. A movie simply asking questions regarding the administration has as much right to be shown and seen as The Passion or any other film, be it fiction or non-fiction. It does not matter if you agree or disagree with the topic, what matters is the freedom such tactics challange.

So I am hoping that you might send this out to your list of contacts and ask that people watch this and distribute it as widely as possible.

One of the odd things in the movie - given our latest peek into the World o' Weldon - is his emphatic interest in Able Danger. Perhaps he is too stupid to realize that selling his ass to defense contractors might have consequences.
