Modern history can be divided into two time frames: before 9/11 and after 9/11. This five-part docuseries 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.
Interviews and chilling archival recordings chronicle the chaos that unfolded during the 9/11 attacks, whose origins can be traced to the 1980s.
Survivors recount the horrors they endured on 9/11. Immediately after the attacks, George W. Bush begins charting America's aggressive military response.
Learning the hijackers benefitted from gaps in US intelligence, the White House justifies a secret surveillance program and "enhanced interrogation."
With no cohesive strategy, the war in Afghanistan squanders early successes and backfires, fueling disillusionment, corruption and a Taliban resurgence.
After two decades, the US aims to end its longest-ever war, but its withdrawal threatens to plunge Afghanistan back into repressive, bloody violence.
