[tv+] The documentary avoids ideological positions despite interviewing members of the US government in 2001. The narration by Jeff Daniels has a non-political approach, but rather a personal one. Although the credibility of Bush/Cheney/Rice can be questioned, the story is limited to personal experiences, which gives interest to the proposal about a power momentarily seized from those who should wield that power.
This is an excellent documentary from an amazing perspective. Really a great reflection piece that needs to be shown to our kids and their kids. We MUST continue to learn from our history.
A difficult but riveting watch on a seminal day in American history.
I saw these events live on UK news and I've lived through the aftermath of decisions made on that day.
Watching this documentary, it feels a lot like propaganda for the Bush administration. A clearly out-of-his-depth President, not quite comprehending the gravity of the situation only to then knee-jerk into revenge.
Though this documentary provides insight into the day itself, it sheds no light on why, how and what really transpired throughout the events that were crystallised on 9/11.
It is worth watching. A difficult and incomplete view through a very specific lens.
7/10
Incredible documentary, harrowing at times but fascinating to watch. One of the best indepth docos I've seen for quite some time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Quite an interesting documentary that shows the events of this horrific tragedy from a completely new perspective.

Very interesting docu, compelling and harrowing, good to see behind the scenes and how all the staff felt etc. Just felt Bush came across as a bit of a dick in it though, there’s a lot to be said.
