CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Sept. 14, 13 years after the tragic events of 9/11, Second Sunday Cinema will show two free films that may cause people to think seriously about what happened on that sunny autumn morning in NYC.
Second Sunday Cinema's free films for September will be "Speaking Freely, Ray McGovern,” and “Terrorstorm.”
The films will be shown on Sept. 14 at Clearlake United Methodist Church at 14521 Pearl Ave., Clearlake.
Doors open at 5:45 p.m., with the films beginning at 6 p.m.
In the first film, "Speaking Freely, Ray McGovern,” a high-level CIA analyst shares his (genial but still serious) views on the changes in the agency when George Tenant became director.
In its earlier days, the CIA gathered, analyzed and shared important information. When Tenant took over, the agency became politicized, and sometimes “found” information to suit the agenda of the White House.
“Terrorstorm” looks at famous false flag operations around the world and how they were created and used to fan the flames of war.
Following the film there will be a roundtable discussion considering how the two films might shed some light on what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
For more information call 707-889-7355.
