Unfortunately, many people feel that the docudrama is very inaccurate at many points and by showing them the movie in its 'as-is' format, what are people really learning? Can they even be able to form their own opinion based on something untrue? It seems unlikely. Those who are already very well informed probably won't watch the damn thing anyway, it's the people who aren't well informed that this will have the most dramatic effect upon, since there will be almost no reason for them to think about it otherwise.
And point two, where else do people get their information about current events other than from the media? People are arguing that the media should do their damn jobs and fix a blatantly false representation if they want to hold and credibility for their actions. When the 9/11 commission is saying that it runs astray from the truth on more than just a few occasions, something's wrong, especially since, for all intensive purposes, it's suppose to be a retelling of the events - but if the events are imaginary, what are we really accomplishing?
Also, I find it shameful that people are getting their information from a movie anyway... which is essentially what this is. It's not a documentary, it's a piece of cinema for people to watch. I feel it lost its credibility before people ever saw it.
