SkyRo P The documentary "Oklahoma City Bombing: An American Terror," released in 2025 on Netflix, delves into the tragic events surrounding the bombing and examines the motivations behind Timothy McVeigh's actions. It explores how he orchestrated this devastating attack and discusses the possibility that he could have evaded capture. Additionally, the film provides context by touching on the events in Waco and their implications. Featuring live footage from April 24, 1995, just two days after the bombing, the documentary presents a comprehensive look at the coverage from various news networks. I found the documentary to be exceptionally well-crafted; it not only recounts the harrowing events but also includes authentic documentation and live recordings, making it an invaluable resource for those unfamiliar with the subject. Overall, I thought it was an outstanding production. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Michael D A clean but underwhelming documentary. It provides a good surface level overview but really should have dove deeper into Mcveigh. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review David F A good, generic documentary about the bombing which takes you back in time to this devastating tragedy with an assortment of interviewees who lived through it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Jessw W Watch a noble lie and you'll see they glossed over like 90% of what happened. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Audience Member It's not as much a documentary as a chance to be political and blame all the ills of the world on the side they truly despise. Guess which side that is? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
