It's a tour de force. What makes it so? Not just the exhaustive attention to detail, or the emotional interviews with first-responders and ordinary citizens, or the amount of footage you can't quite believe exists. The series is deliberately, painstakingly, enthrallingly thorough.

9/11: One Day In America is tough to watch. But it very effectively brings back the feelings from that harrowing day, even as it highlights the moments of kindness that filtered through all the darkness and death. It’s a great illustration of what that day was like and should be shown to students for decades to come.

The accounts given by those who lived to talk about them fill every moment of this four-night, six-episode documentary series, making footage from that day come alive in ways few other reports have. "9/11: One Day in America," produced in official partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, may be the most emotionally taxing examination of the events surrounding those attacks that you'll see this year.

It’s intense and thorough, but it’s also reflective, bringing the horror back down to earth by filtering it through the eyes and ears of those who were there.
