If you know only about the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 based on the minute-by-minute accounts of the day, or even the days before, or even the weeks before, you miss most of the story. Those terrorist attacks were decades in the making, and understanding the people and events that lead to the horrors of that day is essential to understanding the mindset of this specific terrorism - so that we can prevent it in the future. This documentary starts with the assassination of New York Rabbi Meir Kahane and eventually goes back even further, to the 1981 assassination of President Anwar Sadat of Egypt. It weaves those events together over the years, along with many others, so you can clearly see just how the movements grew into one that lead to the murder of Ahmad Shah Massoud in Afghanistan on September 9, 2011, and the terror attacks in the USA two days later. Detailed, fact-based, meticulous - outstanding documentary.
