"Truth & Lies: The Last Days of Osama bin Laden"

Osama Bin Laden was the man who created fear all around the world. As footage plays back September 11, 2001, many are still in shock. 3000 people lost their lives that day. The entire world was watching the news as it covers live footage of the planes crashing and exploding in the twin towers. I will always remember this date because it was also my mother's birthday.

When the Navy Team, Team Six prepared for the raid, it reminded me of how we prepared for a shoot. We had to check and make sure that our equipment was fully functional before executing the project.

By the time they showed a picture of Osama Bin Laden dead, I was shocked. The following photo shows how the deceased picture on the right was manipulated/photoshopped with Bin Laden to show how he was killed. Which, in my opinion, I thought was an accurate image of how he died. In the documentary, it mentioned that one of the navy seals first shot was towards his chest and the second shot was towards his left eye.


'Til this date, we all suspect Bin Laden was killed and buried in the seas. Though there was no proven evidence, footage/images that he'd died. There was a photo shown in the documentary of Obama and the other important executives watching their screens off frame before it was announced that he was killed. This image reminded me of how we watch television series. Especially during the last episode, we pay very close attention to it. This ties in with Obama's speech that Bin Laden was killed. Many have tuned in the same way people tuned into 9/11. 

Would you want to see the final image of Bin Laden just to prove that he's been killed? 

Overall, this was one amazing documentary that I loved to watch. Although there's still some questions that are unanswered, the host of the show asked some excellent questions during the interviews to make it very interesting and effective.
