Trailer and poster for Netflix documentary THE ANTHRAX ATTACKS about the 2001 anthrax mail attack

A new trailer and poster have been released for the Netflix documentary The anthrax attacks, which follows the 2001 postal attacks on Anthrax carried out in the weeks following the September 11 attacks. Documentarian Dan Krauss (The Kill Team, 5B) made the photo for Netflix, and while most of the film is told in a documentary style, some is dramatized and starring Clark Gregg (The new adventures of old Christine, The Avengers).

Here is the synopsis:

The Anthrax Attacks tells the story of the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States and one of the largest and most complex FBI investigations in law enforcement history. Five Americans were killed and at least 17 fell ill in what became one of the worst biological attacks in US history, followed a week after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Taking place across America and beyond, it’s an incredible scientific story of deadly poison, obsession and paranoia, all told against the backdrop of the war on terror. Using a combination of email-based scripted interviews and reenactments + FBI field notes, the documentary also shares shocking and heartbreaking stories from detectives, survivors, and families of those who have been infected.

This looks really interesting. I remember when all this was happening. It’s been a really scary time and it seems like we’re finally getting the whole story behind the events that took place. Check out the trailer and poster below and watch The anthrax attacks on Netflix on September 8th.
