For the first time, you’ll hear the stories of real Americans who were at the heart of what happened on September 11, 2001. You’ll hear actual recordings from air traffic controllers as they watched the first plane fly into the World Trade Center. Listen to audio recordings taken from flight UA93 before it crashed into a Pennsylvania field. See how defense teams raced to send fighter jets to intercept any incoming planes to the pentagon, but unfortunately arrived too late.

What if I told you the plot of Vertigo is true, but the story even more perversely rooted in the traumatic history of a dictatorship, in a nation’s obsession with a woman who became a goddess and a savior, and in the real-life attempt to reincarnate her in the body of her successor? Through supernatural means, Isabel Martínez de Perón attempts to extract from the embalmed body of Eva Perón the dose of charisma she lacks.

The Assault on Fort Stedman
The Assault on Fort Stedman
R.E. Lee’s last offensive against the Union army around Petersburg is recreated in “The Assault on Fort Stedman.” Confederate General John B. Gordon’s elaborate plan to capture a portion of the Union siege lines is explored, including the making of white strips of cloth, used to identify Confederate assault teams during the night attack. Elaborate earthworks, including chevaux de frise, and a water-filled moat bring the action of the assault to life, as the breach succeeds beyond Gordon’s “most sanguine expectations.” But the follow-up formations fail to materialize, and the Union counter-attack in the morning recaptures the fort and two nearby artillery batteries. Union commander John Parke’s quick reaction restores the Union siege lines, virtually sealing the fate of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.
