Amidst accusations that the White House stifled the investigation into the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, documentary filmmakers at Globalvision adapt author Paul Thompson's inflammatory expose The Terror Timeline into a film which follows a small group of the victim's families as they descend upon the nation's capitol in search of the truth. 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.
