About the Series
Interviews with the protagonists and, above all, a great deal of police investigation in this docuseries, which also features previously unpublished images of the attack.
A shocked city and, above all, the ghost of the Twin Towers hovering over served to turn this terrible event into a phenomenon, which we now contemplate from a much more rigorous perspective in terms of its analysis. It is also a very human film and, most important for fans, it doesn’t betray the line of the series.
After Waco American Apocalypse, Netflix is back on track with a high-flying true-crime, with events of social repercussion that, although they are not matter of current affair, they still generate interest and, over the years, can be contemplated more rigorously, as in this case, a fine example of a well-produced documentary that calmly narrates the facts without falling into the sensationalism of the previous stage of the streaming network in an Indian Predator style.
Some may miss the other approach, but this new twist will undoubtedly be appreciated by the most classic lovers of the genre.
Enjoy.
