O Ataque ao Capitólio

Excellent documentary chronicling the events of January 6. The use of personal interviews provides a compelling narrative of the intensity of the day. No documentary can do justice to describing the heroics of the capitol police or our congressional representatives or those standing up to the insurrection, but this documentary does a good job at pulling this together. The filmmakers did a fantastic job following the insurrectionists to help put the events of the day in a chronological order to provide a compelling historical perspective. This documentary is highly recommended for anyone interested in appreciating the events of this infamous day.

This was a harrowing, yet fantastic watch. I've watched many Jan 6th "documentaries" and they would play the same tired clips we've all seen over and over again. Jan 6th though, had never before seen footage and interviews from both unbiased Republican and Democrats who were inside the Capitol that day. This isn't "fake media", or Antifa. The footage doesn't lie. It's astonishing that there are people who use mental gymnastics to defend this.

Halfway through I thought they should definitely show this to older middle/highschool history class students. My son is only 10 but when he gets a couple years older, I absolutely will.

Good effort in telling the story of this day by those involved, and stock footage.

You only have to look at the way people voted on IMDB to see how extreme the differing views are. That so many believe theories and questionable facts, when reality is staring them in the face is perhaps the worst part.

A reasonable, even good, documentary of that terrible day. The complete and utter failure on so many levels should frighten anyone who sees the peaceful transfer of power as being a norm of democracies. I can forgive people who were angry, even those who were violent, they were fooled by those who knew the facts, and didn't care, using them for callous political advantage.

Even after this terrible time, 147 Republicans representative failed to do their constitutional duty, and certify the election later that same day. Where is the shame?

As a grumpy old bystander, who knows a little bit about u.s politics from my high school years, and i bet that i know more than 90% of the u.s population about political usa, than u.s citizens knows about my own country , norway, a land of peace and beauty where the king still may take his walking stick for a stroll down the main street of the capital, and where the police just have been allowed to carry weapons as part of their uniform... it seems so ludicrous that its the french naudet-brothers that hands over this panzerblasting documentary about the capitol siege... just like they documented the socalled conspiratious event called '' 9/11'' with sequels, a film i usually view every fall just to remember what its all about...

the naudets do such a grave job that everything after this would be kindergarten stuff of highly partisan conspiracy stuff, that noone at either side would like nor hate vice versa...

so if you are in for a buffet of french documentary brilliance with codus on insight and objectivity, then this is my recommend, i know that 50% of the u.s population disagrees, but that is why we have political observers around the world.

Seriously. It's the most cliche group of people (I'd bet the farm on calling them election deniers). I'd also wager they made it past highschool but are now holding a PhD in political science. You know the people I'm talking about. They probably have a shirt that says "We the people" but don't know the lines that follow that. You know, the ones who will get all up in arms about the 2nd amendment, but couldn't tell you what the 9th amendment is. I hope one of them reads this review and takes a good long look in the mirror before sitting down to watch this movie.

Anyway. This is an interesting movie about an infamous day. It's definitely worth the watch.
