11-S: así se vivió en la Casa Blanca

Very good doc showing footage I have not seen before. Tells a well-crafted narrative of the day's events from Bush's point of view.

I appreciated this documentary not trying to inject a biased narrative. It lets people talk, it doesn't position anyone as heroes or villains, it just shows you the actions taken and when they happened. How you feel about any of it comes externally from the film.

Too many documentaries on this topic have tried (rather transparently) to steer their audience towards a particular opinion or thought pattern politically. Refreshingly, there's no overt praise or overt admonishment of anyone in this. If one has problem with that, it's because they hoped for the film to service their bias in whatever regard, and I'm glad this film took the higher road.

An interesting re-telling of the 9/11 story, but it seemed to maintain that the decisions made by Bush and Cheney somehow justified their actions. In reality, their entire circle of war hawks were nothing more than a cabal of bumbling idiots whose "war on terror" spanned 20+ years and cost US$2.2 trillion dollars. Seems like that money could have provided health care for the entire country for more than 20 years. Go figure.

Apparently it is for all these bashers difficult to put this docu in the context of 2001 or from a preferred political party point of view. Dont look at it from a Rep. Lens or Dems lens but look at it through a 2001 lens.

It is so easy (and a cheap shot) to judge those based on the knowledge we have today and if you do, well yeah you rate it probably below 4*.

If you watch these docu througg a 2001 lens or perhaps, if you are a bit more sophisticated, through a political analyst lens, you might actually enjoy this doc.

This is a brilliant documentary. Only bad thing was that it ended. The editing and flow was very smooth and really made you feel like you're reliving this terrible period in time all over again. Actually having president Bush take part in the documentary made it really come to life as we got to hear first hand what he was thinking and feeling at the time. A must watch.
