What’s conspicuously missing from this non-fiction inquiry—much to its detriment—is an attendant discussion of what came next, and how McVeigh’s actions directly and indirectly led us to our precarious present moment.

John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

What Mr. Levin and his producer, Daphne Pinkerson, do, while justifying nothing, is separate the righteously angry from the opportunistic and the people with legitimate grievances from the exploiters of those grievances.

A first-rate film about a too-often-forgotten event.

Cluttered as An American Bombing can occasionally be, it’s nevertheless convincing in its intent.

Secret S

Informative and alarming but lacking in focus. Timely in that it provides us with a very terrifying reminder (as if we needed one) that far right militias and "patriots" are still very much active in the United States, have infiltrated some of our highest branches of government, and consequently pose an even greater threat to our nation today than they did 30 years ago.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
