Gedeon and Jules Naudet, brothers and filmmakers, shot, produced and directed the iconic documentary "9/11", which has been compared, for its historical significance, to the Zapruder film of the JFK's assassination. Airing on CBS and in 137 countries, "9/11" won every honor in television, including Emmy, Peabody and DuPont awards. The Naudets produced and directed "In God's Name" with CBS: an intimate look at the lives, hopes and fears of the world's great religious leaders. The Naudets produced and directed "The Presidents' Gatekeepers" with Discovery Channel, an account of five decades of presidential history as seen through the eyes of twenty White House chiefs of staff. The Naudets produced and directed "The Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs" with Showtime and CBS, revealing the inner workings of one of the world's most powerful intelligence organizations, with unprecedented access to the CIA's twelve directors and top operatives. The Naudets produced and directed "November 13th: Fluctuat Nec Mergitur" with Netflix: A three-part series chronicling the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015 from the perspective of more than 40 witnesses: civilians, rescue workers, Paris Mayor Hidalgo and French President Hollande. The Naudets produced and directed "Notre Dame de Paris" with ABC and TF1, an account of the firefighters inside the cathedral, along with clergy and local officials, reliving the night the world almost saw Notre Dame Cathedral completely destroyed. The Naudets produced and directed "January 6th", the day a mob attacked Washington's Capitol to prevent elected officials from certifying the 2020 presidential election. More than 50 senators, representatives, police officers and staffers from both parties recount their experiences. It is the only documentary for which the Capitol Police and the DC Police officially participated.
