German 9/11 Victim Defamed in “United 93″ Movie
The movie “United 93″ shows how American heroes take on the hijackers — but only after a German passenger has tried to persuade them not to. The movie is described as “meticulously researched” and “fact-based”, but there is not any indication that Christian Adams, deputy directory of the German Wine Institute and a Fulbright Alumnus, acted in the cowardly appeasing way he is portrayed in the movie.
Anthony Kaufman writes in his review in AlterNet: “a German blond businessman who turns out as a stereotypically weak-kneed Euro-pacifist (an obvious non-American who is eventually neutralized).”
