Daily (9pm)
On this anniversary of September 11, revisit the tragic events of 2001 through the lens of fiction and conspiracy theory. Able Danger was, according to news sources, a covert information-gathering mission undertaken by the US government that monitored the terrorists as they planned their attacks. Paul Krik's new film is named after that cache of data, which has since disappeared; the info, stored on a hard drive, serves as the movie's MacGuffin. Shot in black and white and reminiscent of classic '30s noir films, Able Danger tracks a Brooklyn bookstore owner (based on the owner of Vox Pop) and a European femme fatal over bridges and on bikes in the dangerous search for 9/11 truth.
