7/7 Ripple Effect is a 57-minute homemade film about

Muad'Dib", the name of a character from the Dune books
.

Content

The film poses numerous questions about the events surrounding the attacks and presents alternative theories for who was behind them. The film implicates the

tube trains
and one bus where the attacks took place. This thesis was taken up in the book on the London Bombings Terror on the Tube.

Critical reception

An episode of the BBC programme The Conspiracy Files titled "7/7", which first aired on 20 June 2009, addressed part of the claims made in the film as well as other theories surrounding the attacks.[2][3] The programme also revealed Muad'Dib to be John Hill from Sheffield, tracking him down to an address in Kells in the Republic of Ireland.

Release

The film was first released on the

Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, California.[4]
On 7 July 2012 and 7 July 2019 updated and expanded versions were released.

Legal action

Hill was arrested and extradited to the United Kingdom on a charge of perverting the course of justice for sending DVDs of the film to the judge and jury foreman in a trial linked to the attacks. He was acquitted on 12 May 2011.[5]
