After 9/11 numerous films started appearing that were propaganda either for or against the War on Terror. Among them were “United 93,”“Fahrenheit 9/11,” and “World Trade Center.” These three films sparked debate among Americans and helped to shape and form opinions of what the United States’ government was doing in regards to the events that occurred.

Propaganda films are created in such a way that the audience is not aware that what they are watching is intended to persuade them to think one way or another. As Nancy Show stated in her book, propaganda "begins where critical thinking ends." [1] Michael Moore, in regards to his film "Fahrenheit 9/11" is among one of the films that is up for debate regarding this issue. In "Fahrenheit 9/11," many critics claim that this film is completely propaganda.
