Plot.
From veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker and chronicler of U.S. politics Michael Kirk and his team, this documentary traces the U.S. response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the devastating consequences that unfolded across four presidencies. Drawing on both new interviews and those from the dozens of documentaries Kirk and his award-winning team made in the years after 9/11, this two-hour special offers an epic re-examination of the decisions that changed the world and transformed America. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the January 6 insurrection, America After 9/11 exposes the legacy of September 11 — and the ongoing challenge it poses for the president and the country.

Details.
Wiki.
America After 9/11 is a 2021 television documentary film about the response of the United States government towards the September 11 attacks and its various consequences which eventually led to a deeply divided country two decades later. Produced by the investigative journalism program Frontline on PBS, the film explores how people's xenophobia and mistrust in government grew as the War on Terror in response to the attacks advanced over the years despite criticisms and controversies, reaching a climax in the 2021 attack on the United States Capitol.
Directed by Michael Kirk and written by Kirk and Mike Wiser, the film first aired on PBS stations on September 7, 2021 in commemoration of the attacks' 20th anniversary.
