9/11: Inside the President's War Room
See the crisis unfold through the eyes of the president and his closest advisors.
Synopsis
9/11: Inside the President's War Room (2021) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Adam Wishart skips the dramatic re-enactments. Instead, the people who actually ran the country that morning tell the story themselves, two decades on.
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and transport secretary Norman Mineta each walk through their slice of the day, minute by minute. Where the first report reached them. What went out over the secure line. Why Air Force One stayed in the air for hours instead of heading back to Washington. Across 89 minutes the film stitches archive footage to fresh interviews and builds an almost hour-by-hour account of confusion and split-second orders at the top.
The distance is the point. Twenty years later these advisors speak more plainly than they could in the moment, and the gaps between their accounts are easy to spot. A UK–US production that keeps the flag-waving switched off. Stream 9/11: Inside the President's War Room (2021) online on iFILM.
