Twenty years ago, on Tuesday September 11, 2001, the United States was hit by an unprecedented series of terrorist attacks that changed the world. The country and all it stands for were under attack. How was 9/11 possible and what are the consequences for the Middle East and the rest of the world?

To answer these questions and more, France 24’s journalist Antoine Mariotti met with some of the key players of the past two decades across the world: former CIA directors and agents, members of the Bush and Obama administrations, ambassadors, Iraqi, Afghan, French and American politicians including Lionel Jospin, Michèle Alliot-Marie, David Petraeus, John Bolton, Richard Armitage, John Negroponte, Paul Bremer, Hans Blix, Abdullah Abdullah, Leon Panetta, people close to Ahmad Shah Massoud and his son Ahmad Massoud, Jacques Chirac’s advisors... they shed light on what happened behind the scenes and share their analysis, at times with remorse.
