Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror (Netflix) Premieres September 1st

This limited series feels fitting for release right now with the withdrawl from Afghanistan and the 20th Anniversary of 9/11. I'm watching the first episode this morning and its very interesting as it goes into not only the terrorist attacks of 9/11 but the origins of how they happened dating back to the late 70s and 80s in the middle east.

Modern history can be divided into two time frames: before 9/11 and after 9/11. This five-part docuseries from director Brian Knappenberger is a cohesive chronicle of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S., offering illuminating perspectives and personal stories of how the catastrophic events of that day changed the course of the nation. From the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 to the country’s breathtaking collapse back into the hands of the Taliban just weeks before the twentieth anniversary of the attacks, history continues to be made.

I'll check it out. I've watched a lot of documentaries this past summer.

For now, I still believe the best 9/11 documentary is - "102 Minutes That Changed America"

I'm on episode 4 and I wouldn't necessarily call this a 9/11 documentary, but a War on Terror documentary (as noted in the title obviously). Only the 1st episode is 9/11 heavy.

Good documentary and very informative so far. Lots of good interviews from high ranking (former) officials.
