22-year-old Dylan Avery's wish to delve into the reasons behind the
9/11 attacks led to him making Loose Change, a documentary that
involves some very compelling conspiracy-theorising. It is also
bolstered by some impressively persuasive evidence.
Since the first edition appeared on the internet in April 2005, it has
maintained its position as one of Google Video's top 100. By placing
his film on the internet, Avery (of Oneonta, New York) has reached
millions of viewers looking for another side to the story, while
spending just $8000 on the first and second editions of the flick
itself.
The inspiration for Loose Change came from a photograph of a controlled
building explosion seen alongside the collapse of the Twin Towers; the
similarities were too obvious for Avery to ignore. As he puts it, he
"just started asking honest questions" about what really went on.
Discussing his concerns with his childhood friend (and later the film's
producer) Korey Rowe, an army specialist who served in Afghanistan and
Iraq, just made him more determined to investigate what he saw as the
strange cover-ups surrounding the day's events.
In the run-up to the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this month,
it seems that everyone is talking about Oliver Stone's cinematic
contribution to the debate, World Trade Center, which is out on
September 29th. Those familiar with Stone's work may be expecting
conspiracy theories and political comment on a grand scale. However, in
a recent interview with Empire magazine, Stone insists that his work is
"just one little story." Instead, those in search of an alternative
view of the events of 9/11 have been looking to Avery's Loose Change.
The film takes the insufficiency of official explanations and
assurances as a given, and explains this by alleging that the
government set up the attacks itself. He validates his points by
dissecting the authorised line on what happened on each plane, and at
each site. For instance, many witnesses of the WTC collapse reported
multiple explosions in the buildings, but these claims have been
refuted by the 9/11 Commission.
He also looks at the damage done to the Pentagon by Flight 77. The
plane seems to have disappeared into a 20-foot hole, leaving no trace
of its 124-foot wingspan on the building? Avery concludes that it was
more likely that a missile hit the building. Other allegations include
the government being forewarned of the event, and the suspicious lack
of plane debris at the site of the United 93 crash. Avery delves into
all of these issues, citing official documents, expert advice and
eyewitness reports along the way.
Predictably, there has been a sizeable backlash against the movie, not
least because the first edition contained a fair few inaccuracies.
However, Avery and his team responded to such complaints and issued a
further edition. They are now in talks with several major movie studios
about releasing a third and "final cut" of the film on September 11th,
2006. There are high hopes for Loose Change; Avery says, "We're aiming
for Sundance next year."
Whether his provocative treatment of such inflammatory subject matter
agrees with your or not, it's undoubtedly a must-see. As Avery himself
puts it, "I hate... crazy conspiracy theorists," but, he also wants to
see "these bastards... brought to justice." The case put forward in
Loose Change is riveting viewing, and will stay with you for a long
time.

Rowe and his collaborator, Dylan Avery, 22, actually started writing
Loose Change as a fictional screenplay--"loosely based around us
discovering that 9/11 was an inside job," Rowe says
