9 11 - The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition

Buy This Item 9 11 - The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $17.99  on 11-14-2008     Originally broadcast on CBS in March 2002, <I>9/11</I> is an extraordinary record of that fateful day in New York City. This one-of-a-kind documentary was originally conceived as a portrait of 21-year-old Tony Benetatos, a firefighter trainee at Manhattan's Duane Street firehouse, located seven blocks from the World Trade Center. By the time filming was finished, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet had captured history in the making, including the only image of the first jetliner striking Tower 1, and the only footage from <I>within</I> the tower as it collapsed. This is not, however, a film about the murderous nightmare of terrorism. It's the ultimate rite-of-passage drama, more immediate and meaningful than any fiction film could be, with Benetatos and his supportive colleagues emerging as heroes of the first order. Sensitively narrated by codirector and fellow firefighter James Hanlon, <I>9/11</I> will endure forever as a tribute to those, living and dead, who witnessed hell on that sunny Tuesday morning. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews I've seen no better first-person narrative on the subject since this film's release. This was a must-have for me, and remains the most prized and displayed piece on the subject in my collection.
