MercuryMedia Takes On 9/11 Doc

LONDON, June 13: MercuryMedia is continuing its acquisitions
drive, picking up the rights to the 48-minute special 9/11: Press For Truth from New York-based DTT Documentaries.

The film tells the story of four 9/11 widows known as “The
Jersey Girls” who fought for the official investigation into the attacks. The
women have been in the news again recently following controversial remarks
about them by right-wing commentator Anne Coulter.

“This is a great 9/11 documentary,” said Jason McGeown, the
marketing and acquisitions Manager at Mercury. “There are lots of questions to
be answered by the American government and this film raises them in a
responsible and level-headed manner. Not only is this a valuable addition to
the catalogue, it also increases the 9/11 programming that we can offer
broadcasters. With Loose Change 2 now
the most downloaded film in history, accumulating 6 million online views, and
CTVC’s Victim 0001, which focuses
on Father Mychal Judge, the NY Fire Department Chaplain who died in the
attacks, we can give the networks some real choice for the fifth anniversary of
the 2001 tragedy.”
