    9/11 from the perspective of Bush and his inner circle

    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.

    PLEASE RATE THE DOCUMENTARY not the people!!!

    This is an amazing doc. It actually just seems to be a 2021 version of the 2011 documentary with the same people. That documentary was called 9/11:The day that changed America. It's nice to hear it from the bush administration at that time and from his words. I loved how seemless the scenes moved through.

    Rate the documentary, not the people

    This work was pretty fine, whatever we think of the people involved in it.

    Fantastic!

    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.

    Memoir of a Mentally Challenged Cowboy

    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.

    • Trivia
      This was commissioned by the BBC and produced by Wish/Art Films and Apple TV+. The version shown in the United Kingdom on the national channel BBC One has no narration at all, and let's the talking heads speak for themselves.
    • Goofs
      Condoleezza Rice states that 9/11 was the first attack on sovereign US territory since 1812. Both Hawaii and the Philippines were territories of the US during WWII. In addition, the Japanese attacked Alaska during WWII as well.
