Turning Point: Generation 9/11

Matt Roush says...

A provocative documentary, the fourth in the Turning Point franchise and the second to use the 9/11 terrorist attacks as its starting point, explores the long-reaching impact of that terrible day, especially on the generation that grew up in its dark shadow. Children who lost their parents and are now young adults reflect on how life changed for them 25 years ago, while others were motivated to serve their country in the War on Terror that reached an unsatisfying conclusion with the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan two decades later. Our national sense of security has never entirely recovered, and as one observer notes: “The generation that is just coming of age now just knows a different America.”
