Filmmakers Bob Coen and Eric Nadler wrote the accompanying book Dead Silence that discusses, in greater detail, the investigation that the documentary examines.
Shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, anthrax-laced letters were mailed to offices of media outlets in New York City and Florida, and to the U. S. Senate in Washington DC, creating an atmosphere of fear across the United States and beyond. The filmmakers question the official story surrounding the FBI investigation of this instance of biological terrorism.[1]
