More about American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden
The official synopsis for the documentary on Netflix reads:
"Featuring rare footage and interviews with CIA insiders, this edge-of-your-seat documentary series traces the epic hunt for Osama bin Laden."
The three-part documentary takes viewers deep into the global mission to find and eliminate Osama Bin Laden. He led al-Qaeda and planned the September 11, 2001, attacks, which changed the course of modern history. Four planes were hijacked that day.
Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, while a third struck the Pentagon. The last, United Airlines Flight 93, went down in a Pennsylvania field when passengers fought back. In total, 2,977 people lost their lives, making it the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States.
After 9/11, intelligence agencies across the world searched for Bin Laden. Years passed with no solid leads. Then, in 2010, a breakthrough came. Officials tracked a man named Abu Ahmed, his trusted courier. His movements led them to a heavily secured compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Directed by Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, the documentary tells the story through those who lived it. Intelligence officers. Military personnel. The people on the front lines of the search. The series will shed light on the intelligence efforts, the dangers faced, and the execution of Operation Neptune Spear. On May 2, 2011, that operation concluded with the death of Bin Laden.
Years later, the impact of that moment is still discussed. Former CIA Director Leon Panetta reflected on its significance, as per Time on March 8, 2025.
"In many ways, we had really brought justice to all of those victims” of 9/11."
