American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden (Season 1)

American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden (2025) is a documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. It reconstructs the decade-long search for the world's most wanted man through the people who actually ran it.

Directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan pull together rare footage and put former CIA operatives, analysts and military officers on camera. The trail runs from the smoke over Lower Manhattan in September 2001 to the night the SEALs came down on a walled compound in Abbottabad. Step by step, the series shows how the leads were stitched together, where they went cold, and how much the final call rested on a single piece of guesswork.

There is no booming narrator here — the decisions are described by the men and women who made them and then carried the weight for years. A strong pick if you want tradecraft and second-guessing rather than a victory lap. Stream American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden (2025) online on iFILM.
