Bin Laden: The Road to 9/11
Available on Channel 4
This documentary explores the life of Osama bin Laden, the world's most infamous terrorist, and how he transformed from a quiet, introspective son of a billionaire to a global terrorist mastermind. A unique version of bin Laden's story will be told by those who were there: his childhood friends, journalists who interviewed him, the mujahideen who fought alongside him, and the members of Al Qaeda who used to hold him in the highest esteem but now distance themselves from him since the heinous crime of 9/11. Through interviews of those close to him, accounts of the FBI and CIA agents who tracked him down, and excerpts from bin Laden's personal collection of audio tapes, the series weaves the events that led to one man's determination to wage war on America, changing the world as we knew it.
