On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda operatives carried out the deadliest terror attack on America in the country’s history, killing nearly 3,000 people and injuring thousands more.
As the U.S. prepares to mark the 20th anniversary of the tragedy that changed everything, FRONTLINE presents America After 9/11, an epic re-examination of the U.S. government’s response across four presidencies—and the unintended consequences.
Gripping, sobering and illuminating, the film draws on dozens of revelatory interviews with elected officials, White House and intelligence insiders, military leaders, journalists and others—as well as on thoseconducted over 20 years of FRONTLINE’s coverage of 9/11 and its aftermath—to present a bold reinterpretation of 9/11’s legacy.
