Trailer Synopsis Cast

On Saturday, July 27, 1996, a terrorist’s bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park at the Atlanta Summer Games, killing two and injuring 111. The toll would have been far higher if not for security guard Richard Jewell, who discovered the bag holding the bomb and helped clear the area. Yet within hours, praise of his heroism turned to vicious accusations. Jewell would be hounded for months by investigations and the media. Eventually, the FBI would capture and convict Eric Robert Rudolph for the crime. Judging Jewell revisits the scene in Atlanta where Richard Jewell, a man simply doing his job, lost the one thing he valued most — his honor.

2nd Edition of Loose Change documentary. What if...September 11th was not a surprise attack on America, but rather, a cold and calculated genocide by our own government?We were told that the twin towers were hit by commercial jetliners and subsequently brought down by jet fuel. We were told that the Pentagon was hit by a Boeing 757. We were told that flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We were told that nineteen Arabs from halfway across the globe, acting under orders from Osama Bin Laden, were responsible. What you will see here will prove without a shadow of a doubt that everything you know about 9/11 is a complete fabrication. Conspiracy theory? It's not a theory if you can prove it.Written and narrated by Dylan Avery, this film presents a rebuttal to the official version of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the 9/11 Commission Report.

30 for 30 Shorts: Judging Jewell (2014)Terrific episode in the ESPN series takes a look at the 1996 bombing in Centennial Olympic Park, which killed two people during the Atlanta Olympics. At first it appeared that security guard Richard Jewell was a hero but the media, needing to a suspect, soon turned him into an evil monster and for 88 days his name and reputation was ruined before the FBI finally cleared him.I'm old enough to remember all of the events in this film and it's just a real shame that Jewell was never made out to be the hero he was. It's clear through this film and others that the media will twist, turn and report anything in order to be the first and it doesn't matter who gets hurt. Especially in today's times we see this happening all the time; the media trying to make a story no matter what the truth is. This documentary does a fantastic job at telling Jewell's story and how it effected and ruined his life. His mother, widow, lawyer and various others are interviewed here and talk about what these 88 days did to the man. This is certainly one of the best episodes in the series and there's no doubt that it warrants a feature length documentary.Episode: A+
