America After 9/11 (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

Summary

The transcript reflects on the enduring consequences of 9/11, including the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and heightened distrust and division within the U.S. It references the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the initial national unity evidenced by bipartisan reactions and singing of "God Bless America." The practical takeaway is a reflection on how, in a moment of crisis, Americans were once willing to put country over party, a contrast to the present day.
