Basswerks Movie Night
We've done psychedelic.We've done artsy.
We've done comedy.
Now we are doing something a little more serious.
This month's movie night will feature "Loose Change 2nd Edition." Here's a description from the film's website:
"'Loose Change 2nd Edition' is the follow-up to the most provocative 9-11 documentary on the market today.
This film shows direct connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the United States government.
Evidence is derived from news footage, scientific fact, and most important, Americans who suffered through that tragic day.
We have done nothing extraordinary in terms of research. We also do not take credit for these people's hard work.
Also, take nothing we say at face value.
We highly encourage you to research this information yourselves and come to your own conclusions."
Visit the official site for more information on the movie:
