Road To 9/11

History doesn't just happen. Road To 9/11 shows that the attacks on September 11, 2001 began long before the first plane struck - 500 years before in fact. It's a tense, serialised documentary with revelatory history and the tone of the thriller. Each episode dives into deep historical roots: The architect of the WTC who in the 1960s based his designs on Mecca, and had once worked for the Bin Laden family; Sayyid Qutb, who as an exchange student to the US in the 1950s was so disturbed by American women, blue-jeans, and Coca-Cola that he penned books which inspired Osama Bin Laden to embrace jihad; and the childhood of Osama Bin Laden, whose father died in a plane crash years before Osama used planes to murder 3,000 people.
