Premiering June 8 only on NETFLIX.

SLAY THE DRAGON

ROAD TO 9/11

A 360 degree overview of events that led to the attack. The comprehensive, dramatic narrative weaves together the complex global connections and webs that were developing over two decades. As the threat quietly grew, only a few people recognized it; most Americans were distracted by other issues on the home front.

Featuring more than 50 interviews, the story is told by the people who were there, some speaking on US television for the first time – the investigators and officials who understood and warned of the threat, but were unable to imagine the magnitude or foil the deadly plot conceived by Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

SOLVES GUNS

No matter what side of the partisan divide you’re on, we can all agree that there’s too much gun violence. Now quick, do something, before you forget why you’re here, get high and start watching cake decorating tutorials.

Despite what many in the gun lobby want you to think, you can totally support the Second Amendment AND help reduce gun violence. The good news, if you feel like taking action, you're not alone. Look around, see how you can help — we want you to think for yourselves (but you know, still retweet pictures of the camouflage suit).

THE VOW

From Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning directors Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer (The Square, Control Room, Startup.com) following a range of people who joined the self-improvement group NXIVM. The organization has been under siege, with charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy brought against its highest members, most notably founder Keith Raniere.

The series will take a deep, nuanced look at the experiences of its members, spotlighting their universal desire for personal growth, as it seeks to reveal the issues behind the headlines and explore the emotional toll of unfolding events on these individuals.

GERALD R. FORD:

A TEST OF CHARACTER

Gerald Ford came to the Oval Office during a tumultuous chapter in U.S. history. Government confidence was wavering in the wake of Watergate and the following Presidential resignation, and the Vietnam War raged on despite growing opposition at home. President Ford rose to the occasion and led with an impassioned dedication to do what was best for the entire country. Despite its brevity, from August 1974 to January 1977, Ford's leadership in the Oval Office is remembered for its courage and character during some of the nation's darkest hours.
