The FRONTLINE Interviews

America After 9/11

Our Sources. On the Record. At Your Fingertips.

To produce America After 9/11, FRONTLINE conducted more than two dozen original interviews and drew on our archive of hundreds of interviews from 20 years of filmmaking about the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath. Thirty-five interviews that appear in America After 9/11 can be explored below in video or text. The collection is part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, which makes our source material available to the public.
