United 93

Extremism is a cancer. Eliminate extremism, and we would be one step closer to world peace.

Given today's political climate, it may be naive to think world peace is attainable in this lifetime, but I still have hope for humanity, mainly because today's children are tomorrow's leaders. And I believe they will uphold what's right for the future because they have witnessed so many atrocities.

United 93 chronicles the events of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, mainly from the viewpoint of air traffic control and military personnel on the ground.

Paul Greengrass may not be well known, but the British filmmaker's best-known works are Jason Bourne films with Matt Damon.

Written and directed by Paul Greengrass, United 93 is one of the best historical docudramas I have ever seen. While some scenes are intense, violent, and difficult to watch, the film provides an unfiltered perspective of events on that fateful day. I think it's beneficial to get a different viewpoint from what we've commonly seen through the news media.

Despite all the horror and ugliness, the story of the men and women on United Airlines Flight 93 is one of the greatest about American bravery and resilience.
