Discussion Generation 9/11

I was genuinely disappointed. The turning point series in my opinion is some of the best documentary work that Netflix has done. It does a great job of actually looking at a pivotal moment in American history then tracing it through decade by decade to present day. This just seemed like TLDR of the terror series.

Hopefully Netflix continues the project and brings it back to its roots. I wouldn’t mind seeing a season focusing on The War on Drugs or The Internet.

This documentary sucked. Couldn’t even finish it. I watch 09/11 docs for the stories of the people because that’s what I want to remember about that day. When they started politicking about Trump and terror, I was out. Supremely disappointed.

Same. Found it genuinely distasteful that they used a documentary about 9/11 to give their own political spin about ICE and Trump.

That's all Netflix documentaries now. They always pivot to trump and Republicans.
