Summary
25 titles — 24 documentaries and one podcast episode — were published by FRONTLINE for the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, all available to stream free.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 2001 attacks, and the collection is framed around both that day and the decisions that followed in the U.S. response.
The lineup revisits intelligence failures, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, CIA interrogation practices, drone strikes, domestic surveillance and the rise of ISIS.
Several selections also trace longer-term fallout at home and abroad, including illness among first responders, trauma among veterans, Taliban rule in Afghanistan and declining trust in U.S. institutions.
