Four Hours At The Capitol

BBC2, Wednesday, 9pm

Like the JFK assassination and 9/11, the jaw-dropping January 6 riot at the US Capitol has been burned into the global consciousness.

This feature-length documentary features testimony from the people who were there that fateful day as US democracy teetered on the brink of darkness, including police officers, lawmakers who were inside the building as the violence erupted, and the rioters and protesters.

Previously unseen footage from inside the Capitol offers an insight into the tragic sequence of events which led to the deaths of five people.
