The Sixth

A photographer brings us back to the day our capital was under siege by a group of people that were invited by The Actual president that day to come to the capital because he had lost the election and was mad so he called on his mob to disrupt our certification of our new President. Made me emotional!

The photographer brings you in to the actual day that so many will not forget. My Dad was a WW11 Vet and he wouldn't believe our country would follow anyone to tell them to go against our government. My cousin died at age 18 in Vietnam and our country used to respect protests if they were peaceful. This was not peaceful!!

This film reminds us of the truth of that day from six people who experienced it first hand and through whose courage, democracy triumphed. Original footage shows aspects of the day that never made the news. The award-winning directors live in Washington DC and have a unique perspective. The featured people include policemen and women who protected the Capitol, congressional aides who barricaded themselves in offices, a photographer embedded in the crowd with insurgents, and a congressman. The imagery is powerful and irrefutable and even if you watched the events unfold in live time, there are scenes that have never been seen.

Every American should see this movie! A 'close-up' of what happened at the U. S. Capitol on January 6th, supported with an excellent map of where everyone was situated, and what was happening, minute by minute. You feel such tremendous respect for the police officers, the Chief of the MPD, and others who worked to keep the rioters from entering the Capitol or harming any members of Congress.

The photographer, Mel D. Cole, took photos right in the midst of the crowd, although he was scared to death at the end.

Right now it's available on Amazon Prime, but only for sale at $19.99. And rumors are that Prime is going to remove it.

Watching this small band of police officers battle the crowd, the question has remained - What took the Army so damn long to sign off on support from the National Guard??

A must-watch for every American adult. With chilling footage and extraordinary first-hand accounts, The Sixth presents the events of that terrible day in raw, unvarnished relief.

As of this writing (6/924) The Sixth has 100% critic and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes but a 6.4 on IMDB? I'm guessing there are a lot of 1s from people who never watched this film. A shame - the people who need to see this the most likely will never. To ensure they never happen again, we must be brave enough to revist the events of January 6th, a day our Capitol was stormed for the first time since the war of 1812.

A film every American should watch. I was watching this unfold in real time from the other side of the world and was wondering how this could happen in America. The characters were very relatable and feel so much for them. I can clearly see that an organized group served as agitators and ordinary people lost control of themselves.

It is very sad that this happened and could happen again with the US political climate as the way it is now.

Well made documentary with never before seen footages and photos. I feel for some of the protesters but mostly to the congressional staff and the law enforcement agencies like the local MPD and the Capitol Police. The National Guard was deemed useless as it was used by politicians not to help. Neighboring local law enforcement agencies from various states saves the day.

Full blown hypocracy of the supposed Blue Lives hardcore supporters.

A must watch.
