January 6th

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.

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.

This is an excellent documentary of what happened on January 6th, the most shameful day in American history! As I watch, I can feel my anger rising, again. I am still outraged that my fellow Americans allowed themselves to fall for all the lies Trump, and FOX NEWS, had been spewing for over 3 years. And then, they actually took arms and attacked our Capitol Building at Trump's bidding! MY Capital Building! MY country!

As I hear them yelling "treason" I wonder if they even realize that THEY were committing treason at that very moment! I am going to watch this video each year to remind myself just how close we came to losing our country to Donald Trump, the worst president to ever hold the office.

May God continue to bless America, and save us from Trump, and his followers.

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.

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?
