9/11: An American Requiem (2011)

On a bright September morning more than ten years ago, Americans watched the attack on the WTC towers in confusion and horror. Responders in fire fighting, law enforcement, and emergency medical services, mobilized their expertise and resources to aid stricken civilians. Following 9/11/2001, thousands of additional responders in construction, telecommunications and other professions selflessly pooled in countless hours of time and energy to work on the massive recovery, cleanup, and rebuilding efforts. 9/11: An American Requiem is a first-class eyewitness account of these WTC responders-- a poignant journey from reaction to action, confusion to cooperation, chaos to order. With its premiere at the Stony Brook Film Festival, and nationwide publicity on PBS and CBS' 60 minutes, 9/11: An American Requiem is a must-see film for all audiences interested in the resilience of the human spirit at the worst of times.
