Stephen King Recommends A Controversial Netflix Documentary

Stephen King is known for his excellent movie recommendations — many of which he shares with his fanbase on Twitter. Usually, he dives into horror films or the occasional western, but this time it’s one of the most controversial documentaries on Netflix that he wanted to discuss.

Previously topping the Netflix charts Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror discusses the story of the deadliest terror attacks in human history. It was dropped on Netflix near the anniversary of the event and right when US Troops were pulling out of the region after a nearly 20-year war effort in the Middle East.

King watched the documentary and shared his thoughts about it and the politics surrounding the War on Terror with his followers on Twitter.

THE TURNING POINT, Netflix: 9/11 doc makes the failures of our invasion of Afghanistan tragically clear. Think of it as a dinner party in a hideously expensive restaurant. 3 presidents dined and dashed. Biden got stuck with the bill.

As sharing political views on Twitter is always a dicey prospect, it’s no surprise that several people came out to complain about his thoughts on the documentary and the events surrounding it in general.

Though far more of them rallied on the side of the famous author.

I prefer to call it 'chew and screw'.
