Adnan Zuberi 2013 "9/11 in the Academic Community"

"9/11 in the Academic Community," a Winner of the University of Toronto 
Film Festival, is a unique film that documents academia's treatment of 
critical perspectives on 9/11 by exploring the taboo that shields the 
American government's narrative from scholarly examination. Through a 
powerful reflection on intellectual courage and the purpose of academia, 
the film aims at changing intellectual discourse on 9/11 and the War on 
Terror.

As well as probing the repercussions several scholars have endured due 
to their investigation of 9/11, this documentary provides an analysis of 
impairments in professional inquiry, ranging from the failure to 
critically reflect on terms functioning as thought-stoppers (such as 
"conspiracy theory") to the structural approach that restricts inquiry 
to the broad implications of 9/11 while shutting out inquiry into the 
events of the day itself.

As 9/11 served as the rationale for the Global War on Terror, the 
expansion of the military and intelligence complex, the invasion of 
other countries in violation of international law, and the curtailing of 
civil liberties, the film provides an inspiring demonstration of 
intellectual courage that will cause many scholars to reflect on the 
academy's role and strength to dismantle the war system.
