Timothy S @SteelCityTim60 19 hrs ago I would say this, if you want to watch disgruntled service members talk about how bad their country is then this one’s for you! I’m retired military, not for me. You truly can see this director’s political affiliation, going so far as trying to make Biden look good when it comes to Afghanistan! 🤣. My question to this director would be were there no alpha males available to interview, maybe some with a different point of view or did you search out beta males and women? Maybe the ones that hated what happened to our country and believed in the retaliation ended up on the cutting room floor. Do yourself a favor and pass on by this one. Unless you hate your country as well. 🤨. I’m sure this won’t be posted by Rotten Tomatoes, it’s to truthful. See more Kevin G @IrishSC Jan 3, 2026 Pure propaganda. One sided Leftist review not based in reality. Creators avoid root cause aka Bin Laden Islamic faith and that of massive portion of Muslim world believing Islam or death. Intolerance of other Religions or Cultures. The subjugatjon of women, cultures, and Countries. The selling of a peaceful Islam fightin an intolerant America…. yet Iskam flew planes into America. The ignorance that a mosque at Ground Zero nothing but positive ignoring the reality of History / Present day and it’s affect on Families of the 9/11 lost. Fine with delivering that pain yet quick to paint Anerica as the intolerant Society. Insanity. No interviews with anyone in the military discussing their positive experience of what they did for Afghanistan. Highlighting Barbara Lee as correct in arguing against any use of force after thousands of Americans murdered in a viscious way??!! I find Turning Point Documentaries highly Leftist biased in rewriting History. See more Eduardo R @Edy34rod Oct 9, 2025 Moving and educational. I love this series because it makes the non-obvious things feel so logical. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, even though it started with a very well-known event. See more Andrew L @Drew2026 May 19, 2025 Very good, but could have been longer. I was impressed with the calibre of people they were able to interview for this, and it touched on all the major points through the 2000’s and 2010s. But it seemed there were major missing storylines, regarding Edward Snowden, the election and surge in Iraq, the rise of Isis and the specific failures in Iraq, depth on the 9/11 commission report, and a whole host of other important narratives. However, perhaps because of the depth and complexity of the history, the filmmakers made the choice to focus on how 9/11 and the war on terror affected America, and in that they succeeded.

I thought it would go into the ins and outs of terrorist organizations, what was happening on the ground as far as operations, etc. but I can't say it did it in a good way, at some points I felt it was a little all over the place. I enjoy war documentaries but this was not it. See more Michael C @RT54178660 Jun 6, 2024 Doesn't dig too deeply into things and tries to cover alot of bases. Seemed rushed in points. Overall a good watch to spead out over a week. See more Read all reviews
