    Directed and produced by Jeremy Earp and Sut Jhally, narrated by Julian Bond, “Hijacking Disaster: 9/11, Fear and Selling American Empire" is a sixty-eight-minute unrated revealing documentary released in 2004 by the Media Education Foundation. The film highlights the relationship between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq before the attack on the World Trade Center Like any other film or documentary, this film carries a message; Hijacking Catastrophe provides concise analysis that persuades its audience to take a second look and interpret the connection. full of opposition to the Bush administration, featuring interviews with important figures and full of compelling arguments Hijacking Catastrophe takes its viewers on a journey through all the mistakes made by the Bush administration and the radical neoconservatives to increase the. fear and persuade the American public to wage war against what they call “terrorism.” This documentary claims to depict the political corruption caused by Bush. the administration and the radical right-wing neoconservatives. For this reason, the film includes many strategies to help the audience understand the suspected relationship. To begin, the documentary begins with the powerful quote from Herman Goring: “The people can always be brought to the orders of the rulers. It's easy. All you have to do is tell them they are under attack and denounce the peacemakers. through lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. » This quote explicitly means that George W. Bush and the neoconservatives lied to make the American public react in a certain way that they planned for their own hidden motives. In my opinion, he is a man determined to gain absolute power over the cost of war tragedies. The film works productively by featuring interviews, displaying news footage and harrowing images of the aftermath of the Iraq War. This specifically proves how the Bush administration incited the media to convince the American people to support the "war on terror" by creating non-existent fear. It features interviews and documentaries that show the hidden motivations of the Bush administration, kept secret from the American public, such as the gradual expansion of the country's power by increasing military spending and power to maintain global hegemony . Finally, if anyone attributes the war between America and Iraq to terrorism and has not seen this documentary, they are wrong to some extent. It's full of vital facts but with less irony, sarcasm and prejudice than Fahrenheit. 9/11.
