79 Minutes: The Breach of the Capitol on January 6th Video

BE ADVISED: this video includes documentation of violence and profane language and may be inappropriate for some viewers.

“79 Minutes: the Breach of the Capitol” takes the viewer from the initial breach of the Capitol Grounds to the breach of the actual Capitol building over an hour later. The film examines the particular perspectives of various individuals and groups present on that day – how certain protesters turned violent while many stayed peaceful, how police leadership failed in preparations and strategy, how police who held a tactical advantage retreated repeatedly, how some police escalated unnecessarily, and ultimately how the defense of the capitol failed and allowed protesters to flow uninhibited into the US Capitol building.
