Bush recounts events of 9/11 in TV documentary

On an unpretentious day in September nearly a decade ago America was attacked without warning in heinous fashion. Within an instant, the entire world changed forever.

Nobody will ever forget and nothing will ever be quite the same again. Whether you were on Wall Street looking up with trepidation as the planes roared alarmingly low over Manhattan Island or on a remote mountain village in a distant foreign country, your life was invariably altered. As the fateful and tragic events of the day unfolded a course was charted that came to dictate life in the 21st century throughout the world.

America responded with great zeal and resolve. Communities everywhere came together. Relationships formed and bonds were created as individuals gained a greater appreciation for the freedoms that few others in the world enjoy. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness became more than just inconsequential buzzwords adorning an old piece of dusty parchment. As a country, America resolved to fight the threats that it faced and vowed to bring justice to the mastermind behind these monstrous events.

"George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview" gives the public inside access into the president's arduous journey as he navigated the uncertainties and dangers he personally faced in his own life while trying to simultaneously orchestrate the recovery process for a grieving nation. He is humanized as the audience witnesses the genuine expression of concern he exhibits for his wife and other friends and family throughout the country as the events unfolded.

In preparation for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the National Geographic Channel spent two days interviewing President George W. Bush. The result is a in-depth historical account comprising the most comprehensive recounting of his experiences that has ever been made available to the general public. Included is a retrospective with his reaction to the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden at the hands of special operation forces, bringing the quest for justice he inaugurated full circle.

The National Geographic Channel meticulously presents a chronological observation of the events of the day as seen through the president's eyes. This is done through the use of video, audio, pictures, and the president's first-hand recollections. Everything from coverage of his morning jog as the sun rose to videos taken on Air Force One that infamous day are tastefully presented.
