For the first time on camera, six of these families - including the so-called "Jersey Girls" - recall their arduous efforts to spark a detailed investigation, and the disappointment that followed when the 9/11 commission failed to offer adequate answers to their pressing questions. A closer look at buried stories, overlooked news clips, and government press conferences reveal a startling pattern of shaky truths, clever spin, and outright deception as filmmakers detail how the government's powerful opposition to the 9/11 Commission was eventually overcome due to the persistence of the 9/11 families, and how the Final Report filed failed to answer a vast majority of their pressing questions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
