About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, fast-moving look at 9/11 and its aftermath with interviews and context; Not for you if you avoid graphic images or want a deeper, more exhaustive investigation like The Untold History of the United States.

Pros: gripping personal accounts; clear, matter-of-fact tone; informative overview | Cons: some gruesome footage; feels surface-level at times; bias debates may distract
