David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle 09/03/2021
3/4
Every single official comes off as genuine and patriotic, and as people who cared about their country. Clearly, there is some legacy-shaping going on here, but that's what public officials do. Go to Full Review
Anne Brodie What She Said 12/03/2021
The doc is powerful and for some may be triggering. For those too young to know about 9/11, it's essential viewing and for those who can't forget, also essential. Go to Full Review
Stephen Silver Splice Today 09/17/2021
2/5
Useful as a tick-tock of the day, but mostly represents an exercise in score-settling and butt-covering by various Bush-Cheney veterans Go to Full Review

Matt H 01/05/2024 Very good documentary. I really thought it was fascinating. See more Charles H 09/05/2023 This is a stylish and entertaining doc that shows the true history behind the events that happened on September 11, 2001 for the generation that experienced it, while also providing new information to the generation learning about it in school. Overall: 8/10, it's over-the-top, sure, but also effective. See more isla s 09/01/2022 I thought this was an interesting documentary about a day that has received an awful lot of attention and of which there are a lot of other documentaries about. I thought it stood out perhaps more than other such shows because it has 'talking head contributions' from such people as the then President George W. Bush (jnr.) and Condoleeza Rice. I felt it was quite insightful to hear the reactions of the staff to what they could find out about what had happened during different times of the pivotal day. This is worth a watch, yes. See more 01/05/2022 A clear and gripping documentary that benefits from remarkable access to people and photos from that chaotic and frightening day. It won't change your mind on what happened afterwards, but it did leave me with more compassion for the people involved and the circumstances in which they were working. See more 10/19/2021 An incredible step-by-step account of 9 11. The footage never fails to shock and understanding what the President was thinking and had to go through that day is well worth a watch. See more Jonathan C 10/01/2021 Well worth a watch. I've seen a number of documentaries, but this one gives a fresh perspective on the day. I found this very moving, felt a lot of compassion for the people involved. See more Read all reviews
