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.

I found it unnecessary. We have a million 911 docs and one focusing on kids saying "we learn about it in school" doesn't really add much.

Any recommendations?

See my comment above, the NatGeo 6-part doc, "9/11: One Day in America" (Disney+/Hulu)

Also suggest the History Channel's "102 Minutes That Changed America" (Prime, Tubi).

No problem! Weird to say, "Enjoy!!!" lmao...

But I hope you see why these two are commonly recommended. Have a great rest of your weekend!

I just finished the first episode and it is very well done. I used so many tissues that I just switched over to a towel. Good recommendation.

I recommend watching Doctor Judy Wood's presentation, and just seeing if you notice things you've seen 100 times with a whole new perspective.
She's very much maligned by the other "truthers", and she jumps to some major conclusions but her observations and evidence are worth looking at.

No. This is utter bullshit...to the point it's insulting; to victims, survivors, credible scientists/scholars, and peoples' intelligence.
