What are some movies or documentaries about 9/11 based on true stories?

One great one is 'Icarus'. It delves into the world of doping in sports. The filmmaker originally set out to make a film about his own attempt at doping to compete in a long - distance cycling event. But as he dug deeper, he uncovered a major international doping scandal. Another is 'The Act of Killing', which is about the Indonesian mass killings in the 1960s. It's a very powerful and disturbing documentary as it gets the actual perpetrators to re - enact their crimes in different cinematic styles.

There might be some documentaries or movies. The movie 'Runaway Train' comes to mind. It portrays a very gripping story of a runaway train and the characters' struggles within that dangerous situation. It's not a pure documentary but is based on elements of a true story, so it gives an idea of what could happen in such a real - life runaway train incident.

Not always. Some documentaries might take creative liberties or present one-sided views.

Another notable one is 'Paranormal Witness'. It presents real - life accounts of people who have encountered the paranormal. Each episode is a different story, and it uses re - enactments along with the actual testimony of the witnesses to bring these events to life. It's a great watch for those interested in true paranormal experiences.

Another great one is 'Blackfish'. This documentary reveals the truth behind SeaWorld's treatment of killer whales through real - life stories and interviews. It has had a significant impact on public perception of captive marine animals.

Yes, there are. 'MADD: Mothers Against Drunk Driving' is a documentary that tells real - life stories related to drunk driving. It shows the real - life tragedies caused by drunk driving and the efforts of an organization to combat this issue. It's based on the true experiences of families who have been affected by drunk driving incidents.

Another good example is 'Serial'. It focuses on the case of Adnan Syed. Each episode dives deeper into the mystery of his conviction for the murder of his ex - girlfriend. It's interesting as it presents different perspectives from various people involved in the case, including Syed himself, his friends, and family members, and also those from the legal side.

Well, it depends. Some are quite reliable as they are based on real investigations and eyewitness accounts. For example, documentaries related to the Warrens' cases often have a lot of research behind them.

One great one is 'The Jinx'. It's about Robert Durst. The documentary is really engaging as it unfolds his story bit by bit. There are interviews and evidence presented that keep you on the edge of your seat. Another is 'Making a Murderer'. It tells the story of Steven Avery and has sparked a lot of debate about the criminal justice system.

Some of the best are 'The Cove'. It reveals the dolphin - hunting industry in Taiji, Japan. The filmmakers had to use undercover techniques to expose this cruel practice. 'Bowling for Columbine' is a thought - provoking documentary about gun violence in America. It looks at the Columbine High School massacre and broader issues related to guns in the US. 'Searching for Sugar Man' is also a great one. It tells the story of a forgotten American musician, Rodriguez, and his unexpected popularity in South Africa.
