Turning Point: l'11 settembre e la guerra al terrorismo

I have to say I cannot remember the last time I have been this touched by a documentary. It tells a story starting with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and ending with the Americans leaving after 20 years of war.

The footage from September 11 was truly harrowing, the interviews were interesting and very informative. I was especially touched by the veterans.

Americans (even some liberals) typically have a hard time admitting the numerous human right violations that were committed by their government as part of its "War on Terror". I was worried that this would be a fictional story of American heroism but luckily, a diverse panel of interviewers from all sides makes this a reasonably balanced portrayal. Almost shocking given how ignorantly biased and self-centered many American "documentaries" on this topic are. The portrayal of 9/11 is well done. It's good to see it put into the larger context - both the before and after.

A really in-depth and thorough view of 9/11. I think so many of us have seen documentaries or at least coverage on September 11 but not so much the aftermath and 19 years of war. Astounding but somewhat conceivable at the same time how Congress only had 1 person challenge the decision to give Bush an open mandate to declare a broad war on Terror. Hindsight is also 20/20. It shows how critical foreign policy is and how no robust strategy or plan has emerged over 19 years. I found this a very sobering documentary, there were no winners in this. The world paid a dear price with this deadly attack and its plagued us in various forms and countries ever since.

Pretty spot on demonstration of how an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Put your political views aside and just watch. The series will bring you back to 2001 and remind you where you were when you heard and saw this horrible event happen.
