Bin Laden: The Road to 9/11
September, 2021
3 x 60
No single person more totally reflects the complex changes the Middle East – and the wider world – have undergone in the last 40 years than Osama Bin Laden. And no one person has been more responsible for them. Our landmark documentary series is an intimate portrait of the man himself; his evolution from quiet, introspective son of billionaire to global terrorist mastermind who would ultimately be the driving force behind 9/11. Featuring exclusive interviews with childhood friends and former Al-Qaeda members, expert and witness testimony, and never-before-seen archive, we chart Bin Laden’s extraordinary transformation, and how the world changed with him.
