Creating and failing the 9/11 generation
DOCUMENTARY | IN DEVELOPMENT
Based on Creating and Failing the 9/11 Generation, this 8-part series offers young adults a critical examination of 9/11’s roots and its lasting impact, moving beyond the usual ‘102 minutes’ narrative. Tracing the long shadow of U.S. foreign policy before and after 9/11, each episode delves into how the most live-watched event in history and the highly mediatized ‘War on Terror’ shaped public perception and continues to influence today’s world.
Using extensive archival footage, the series not only revisits the event itself but critically examines the media narratives that framed it, encouraging a new generation to question inherited beliefs about power, nationalism, and global identity.
