NRA Under Fire (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

For years, the National Rifle Association wielded its political power to dominate America’s conversation about gun rights and gun control — outlasting and overpowering the calls for change that followed mass shooting after mass shooting, from Columbine to Newtown to Charleston. But as the 2020 election approaches, the once-unrivaled organization is facing both internal strife and a rising external threat: a movement led by student survivors of the Parkland mass shooting, whose gun-control advocacy has kept the issue in the headlines and motivated a groundswell of politicians willing to take on the NRA. Once an unrivaled political power, the NRA is facing challenges from all sides. FRONTLINE investigates the organization’s history and evolution, how it aligned with President Donald Trump and his base, and why it is under attack ahead of the 2020 election. Funding for FRONTLINE is provided through the support of PBS viewers and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Major funding for FRONTLINE is provided by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Ford Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the Abrams Foundation, the

The Initial Unfiltered Emergency Records | The 9/11 Chronology | EP 2

Episode Two – The 9/11 Chronology No narration. No interviews. No hindsight. Just the footage, audio, and reports that captured 9/11 as it happened. Episode Two begins at 8:49 AM on September 11, 2001 — minutes after the first plane impact. Over the next 12 minutes, two more planes go silent, emergency calls stream into the FDNY, breaking news of an 'accident' on TV and Radio Stations as broadcasters and the public struggle to work out what happened. This series is not a traditional documentary. It is an actuality-based, real-time reconstruction — an unfiltered archive, compiled entirely from authentic sources recorded on the day itself. No commentary. No retrospective analysis. Nothing added, and nothing taken away. The Archive Cut spans 20 episodes, tracing the entire day from the first takeoff to the final moments of collapse and chaos — moment by moment, as it was seen and heard. This project is intended as a historical and educational record, preserving the timeline and tone of the day with precision and respect. Whether you're revisiting the events or encountering them for the
