    • Quotes

      Herself - Police Officer: When I first got there, I could see people trapped on different floors, and they needed to be rescued. And so I started my way into the building. I thought to myself "Why Oklahoma City? It's a quiet place. Nothing happens here. It's not supposed to happen here."

    Humanizing of a Terrorist
    All this movie tries to do is humanize a terrorist.

    The documentary is well made and researched. It is effective in what is trying to do. The problems is that this documentary tries to make people understand Timothy McVeigh's point of view. We are exposed to different events that eventually led to the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City and that is what's wrong with this film. It is not acceptable to humanize someone that hurt so many people.

    I understand that everyone has reasons to act the way they do and it is very interesting to know them, specially in relation to this event that marked the USA, but doing this is as preposterous as making a documentary of 9/11 and including a mini bio of Osama Bin Laden and events that pushed him to plan it. This documentary would never have been done if a person of color was the perpetrator. The director almost tries to excuse the actions of the terrorist because of their background.
