The last episode of the eight-hour series – which focuses on the effect of al Qaeda attacks and the Covid-19 pandemic on New York City – includes interviews with a group pushing the debunked theory that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed in a controlled demolition and not by hijacked airliners crashing into the buildings.
The final episode is set to air on the cable TV network on September 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks."I'm Back In The Editing Room And Looking At The Eighth And Final Chapter Of NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½. I Respectfully Ask You To Hold Your Judgment Until You See The FINAL CUT," Lee said in a note posted on an HBO website.
"Lee devotes 30 minutes near the very end of his series to relitigating arguments that have been debunked a thousand times," wrote Jeremy Stahl in Slate Magazine.
