The Path to 9/11
My apologies for not posting about this earlier. I really should have.
A five-hour ABC movie entitled The Path to 9/11 recently aired over two nights of commercial-free broadcasting. It’s a docudrama based on the 9/11 Commission Report, as well as a few other sources. It begins with the terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and ends with the events of September 11th. The movie details the numerous failures of both the Clinton and Bush administrations in the investigation of the growing terrorist threats against the United States.
The film is outstanding. Kudos to everyone involved on the project, both behind and in front of the camera. John Cameron’s score is especially effective—what little there is of it. (Most of the music in the movie is source music and not original score.) The main theme hauntingly and powerfully accents the film’s final act. As I have said elsewhere, I think this is the best film music theme for 9/11 yet.
If you missed the movie, you can view it online! (You may need to download some software to play the movie file, but it’s well worth it.) All you need to do is watch the opening credits to realize the artistic excellence of the movie. This show deserves Emmy nominations all across the board. Highly recommended!
