September 11 marks the twenty-third anniversary of the tragic terrorist plane crash attacks on the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. It was a day that changed America, and this year, more than any other, numerous documentaries and specials are reexamining September 11 and its aftermath from various perspectives.
Some of these works review the events historically through the experiences of first responders and government officials, while others address questions regarding the reasons and circumstances of the attack. Additionally, some films focus on the lives of children who lost their parents in the tragedy and the heroes who are still fighting for funding to meet their healthcare needs.
