On Native Soil: The Documentary of the 9/11 Commission Report

Directed by Linda Ellman
Produced by Jeff Hays, Ellman, Lenville O’Donnell
Narrated by Kevin Costner and Hilary Swank, this emotionally powerful film recaps that fateful day’s events through a mix of wrenching interviews and striking video and audio clips. Rebuking both the Bush and Clinton administrations, this film underscores the 9/11 Commission’s conclusion that a lack of preparedness, an overwhelmed emergency system, the FAA’s “dithering” and the failure to make the terror threat a top priority conspired to prevent officials from recognizing the imminence of the attacks. Digital. 119 mins.
