'9/11: Inside the President's War Room' begins streaming on Apple TV+

'9/11: Inside the President's War Room' covers the attack 20 years later

A 90-minute documentary analysing President George W. Bush and his staff's actions during 9/11, has begun streaming on Apple TV+.

Made in conjunction with the BBC, "9/11: Inside the President's War Room" follows the first twelve hours after the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

The 90-minute documentary was released first on the BBC One in the UK, airing on August 31, 2021, and thereafter on the BBC's iPlayer streaming service. It's now available worldwide on Apple TV+, except in the UK where it will remain a BBC exclusive for an unspecified period.

"A first draft of history and a claustrophobic clock-ticking thriller," says the BBC's listing, "this film tells the story of the presidency on arguably the most consequential day in recent history."

It features interviews with President Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, plus National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. Alongside recounting the events and examining the immediate response, the film also looks to how 9/11 "led to two decades of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Can’t see it?

I can see it. And the first half of the show is pretty sobering so far. It doesn't feel like it has a political agenda.

This seems to be a first for Apple TV+. Since Apple‘s video subscription service started in November 2019,  I can remember new content being released only on a Friday.

The entire 9/11 debacle has been politicized - for the past 20 years all the way through 8/31/21.  And the signs are that it will be a political football in at least the next two elections as the U.S. decides what its role in the world can be and should be -- with multiple ideologic and religious based arguments adding fuel to that fire.

Apple TV+ in Brazil: it's searchable and available, but unlisted on the catalog.
