His new HBO series connects the experiences of New Yorkers during the COVID-19 pandemic to those during the Sept. 11 attacks.
Director Spike Lee says he is re-editing the final episode of his new HBO docuseries, following criticism for giving a prominent platform to 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
Connecting the experiences of New Yorkers during the COVID-19 pandemic to those during the Sept. 11 attacks and the immediate aftermath, “NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½” premiered Sunday and will air in weekly two-hour segments. The fourth and final episode will air on Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks. A preview version of the episode was initially provided to reporters, but then pulled from the site that HBO uses to release screeners.
The inclusion of the 9/11 “truthers” is in stark contrast to the rest of the docuseries, which has earned praise for its comprehensive and poignant approach and explores a lot of very real and legitimate government failures. “NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½” features more than 200 interviews with a wide range of New Yorkers: elected officials, actors, journalists, activists, health care workers, first responders, survivors and family members of New Yorkers who died of COVID-19 or on Sept. 11.
