“We’ve been begging our Government for 15 years… and we’re told it’s classified, top secret, you can’t know more details about the death of your Dad.” - Brett Eagleson, whose father Bruce died in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks Fifteen years after 9/11, this new documentary for ITV investigates serious concerns that the real story surrounding that fateful day is yet to be told.

It contains allegations from victims' families that the US administration has put its relationship with Saudi Arabia above the lives of their loved ones, and from former insiders who say how they believe the attacks could have been prevented and that mistakes made by the various intelligence agencies have been buried to protect them from further criticism. Jimmy Walter’s explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers is that they were brought down by explosives and the images of the planes crashing into the buildings were computer graphics. He believes the US government had plenty of reasons for orchestrating such an attack. He says: “The military was getting their funding cut, the CIA was getting their funding cut."
