FRONTLINE's Spanish oil spill documentary leads two 9/11 films
The week's single upload, from FRONTLINE/World, is drawing views more than twice as fast as either of the channel's anniversary documentaries.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Which FRONTLINE film is moving fastest right now? The newest one, and it is not about Washington. "The Biggest Oil Spill You’ve Probably Never Heard Of | Spain: The Lawless Sea | FRONTLINE/World" went up on September 22 as the channel's only upload, and six days later it has passed 80,000 views.
Behind it sit two documentaries tied to 9/11. "How the U.S. Built a Hidden Anti-Terror Apparatus After 9/11" is a month old, and "What FRONTLINE Aired Two Days After 9/11 | Hunting bin Laden" is close to three weeks old. Each already holds far more views than the Spain film, yet the newcomer is pulling in more than double either one's daily pace. The two anniversary pieces are moving at almost the same speed as each other.
Overall the channel ran at exactly its usual pace. Among documentary and journalism channels it sits fifth by subscribers. By daily views it lands above Real Stories and truly, and well behind WIRED, which is having by far the busiest time in the group.
