The Real Review

People think this is a powerful, important documentary, with a lot of praise for director Brian Knappenberger's work. It connects the dots on the long-term impact of 9/11, from orphans and journalists to young Afghans and Marines from the 2021 withdrawal. The handful of people who mentioned its originality gave it top marks. While some found the storytelling approach a bit flat, the main source of negativity comes from the film's depiction of Donald Trump, which drew strong criticism.
