The chilling documentary immerses us in the sensations and shock of Jan. 6, 2021. Civics lessons rarely come this disturbing or this convincing.

From the comments:

Thank you for this review, Mr. Burr, and for the recommendation that "The Sixth" should be seen by all. The advice was taken (as a $19.99 streaming buy on Amazon) by this Post subscriber, and the documentary was one of my most searing, sobering experiences in seven decades as a moviegoer.

For a viewer, the wrenching emotions are relentless, and among the many inescapable conclusions was that the violently insurrectionist MAGAts who stormed our Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and inflicted not only major injuries, trauma and damage, but even several deaths, were (and are) nothing short of filth. Moreover, be it this year or any other year, we must not let such filth overthrow our democracy and install their fascist demagogue as a dictator.

"The Sixth"permanently reminds us of how they almost did only 3 years ago.

As many commented, this should be freely available and as a teaching tool going forward.

1. A24 Rolls Back Planned Streaming Release of Insurrection Documentary 'The Sixth'

The husband and wife team behind 'The Sixth', Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine, say A24 is changing course with the distribution plan for the film.

........."Initially, according to a recent column in Politico, A24 had planned on making “The Sixth” widely available to stream on Prime Video for existing customers, but now, they seem to be rolling back that decision, only making it available to rent.

“The subjects were all told that the movie would be available on Prime starting at the beginning of May,” said Raskin to Politico in comment for the column. “And I was certainly telling that to people because the premiere was completely sold out. I was telling people they’d be able to access it on Prime Video. And then the Fines told us that although that was the original understanding, it was now not going to be available for streaming on Prime Video and people would have to pay for it. That obviously will change by millions the number of people who will see it.”............

2. Curious.

Wonder if we'll learn what pressures were brought to bear and by whom.

Thanks for this update.
