Product Description

If you're looking for an unrepentantly flag-waving, pro-Bush depiction of the President's actions in the wake of 9/11, look no further--DC 9/11: Time of Crisis will have any fan of Michael Moore reaching for an airsickness bag. "Whoever did this isn't going to like me as president," intones Timothy Bottoms as George W. Bush, who never speaks with anything but firm resolve and terse machismo; this slick Showtime production even imagines heroic pillow talk between the President and the First Lady. Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, and the rest of the administration are all portrayed as selfless and well-informed civil servants, and the movie subtly promotes the USA Patriot Act, increased military spending, and the policy of pre-emptive war. DC 9/11 also mixes documentary footage of the 9/11 attacks and rescue efforts with fictional accounts of the behind-closed-doors meetings, which will polarize any discussion of its subject matter. --Bret Fetzer

 President facing a disaster May 15, 2008
Oumvertos V. Valassopoulos (Athens, Greece)
DC 9/11 - Time of Crisis I think it is worthwhile revealing not-so-known responses to a tragedy. Beyond the populist views expressed by some, there are other aspects, more close-up and personal, of the President's thoughts about this tragedy.
Great movie! This is like being there! July 24, 2007
J. R. Dale (Tifton, Georgia, USA)
I was very pleased to watch this movie; the casting is excellent! You feel you are watching history as it happened; the Timothy Bottoms is has such a resemblance to President Bush. All of the characters are perfect.
If you like a suspenseful drama well-made and of high quality, this is it. I would recommend it to all my friends as a keep-sake of that very important event in our lifetime. Everyone should appreciate the good work the producers have done to make this moment in time into a quality movie that we can keep for all of our purposes. I highly recommend it!
 Why can't you put zero stars? March 4, 2007

Taking an event like 9/11 and using it to persuade the audience to see Dubya in a more favorable way is the most disgusting, below-the-belt act in politics. That is exactly what this movie is. The sole purpose of producing it was to increase Bush's polls. The attacks were emotional and devastating, and there is no excuse to try to play into one's emotions that way for an image. Will we ever be able to mourn without having this type of political propaganda shoved down our throats? I am in no way close-minded, and I can attempt to understand people actually liking this crap... But come on, it doesn't take a genius to see the message behind the so-called "facts" displayed in the movie: Bush is a great guy. A great president. A hero.... Whatever. Is it 2008 yet?
Well done insightful drama October 29, 2006

Some might say it puts a positive spin on the Bush administration's activities on 9/11 and the following days but I would challenge anyone to find anything portrayed which was not factual. Consider it a dramatization of historical events which changed our lives forever. You can be sure it will be shared with my children and grandchildren. There should be more of this genre produced based upon factual events. It is a shame the likes of Michael Moore get so much more publicity for pseudo-documentaries based on half-truth and out-right lies while this film, which factually portrays our leaders in a positive light, is pushed aside as propaganda due to political bias. "A Bright and Shining Lie", "We Were Soldiers" and "DC 9/11 A Time of Crisis" should all be presented in high school history classes. They display America at its best when the rest of the world is running the other direction. This movie is a rare opportunity to see what happens behind closed doors as historic decisions are made. It also gives the viewer great insight into the intricacies, variables, cause and affect of the decisions made by the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government during a true crisis.
