Movie Description
HIJACKING CATASTROPHE argues that 9/11 was an opportunity for neo-conservatives in the Bush administration to carry out an aggressive new strategy for America's global dominance. Through the words of noteworthy political pundits, scholars, and authors including Norman Mailer and Noam Chomsky, this film traces the evolution of Bush's foreign policy back to the presidency of George Bush senior. A doctrine written by Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz (supported by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney) outlined unprecedented American influence throughout the world. Though Iraq officially disassociated itself from the abhorrent actions of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, and 9/11, the country was an obvious target to put this plan in motion. Exploiting the legitimate fears of the US citizens, the administration constantly issued heightened security alerts and false reports of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to add to the hysteria and garner support for the war.


It is no coincidence that HIJACKING CATASTROPHE (released on the third anniversary of 9/11) came out during the hotly contested presidential race between George Bush and John Kerry. At times, this documentary feels like a comprehensive laundry list of reasons to oust Bush. Beyond tracking the events leading up to war, the film also provides commentary from some of the anguished parents of soldiers in Iraq. The film questions the image of Bush as a tough cowboy and paints him instead as a man of privilege who shirked his military service. He is, the film concludes, a sheltered man woefully out of touch with the grim realities of war. In addition, the filmmakers criticize the media for buying into the administration's approach by glorifying the romance and heroics of war (in, for example, CNN's high-tech graphic presentations of artillery and weapons), while shielding the public from grisly images of death, horror, and wanton destruction.
