I watched a film last night called "worth" (Michael Keaton, on Netflix) which is also related to 9/11.
It covers something I hadn't thought about and was quite thought provoking in places too.
Can't think how to put it into words, without plot spoiling potentially. (maybe see the trailer).

The trailer for above .
I watched this and it was really interesting, not the best film ever made but a very different perspective and threw up a lot of alternative stories which hadn’t really been in the mainstream.
This looks interesting, I’ve added it to my list.
I watched Surviving 9/11 on BBC iPlayer yesterday and it was the hardest to watch of all the programmes I have seen so far. Heartbreaking.
We watched it last night and I 100% agree with you. The artist still looks completely traumatised by getting out and Jeff’s family look fractured by his death. Definitely the most powerful one for me
I’ve been watching the documentaries this year too, it’s so powerful how they are predominantly just the footage with no commentary or narration. My heart breaks for those who have been missing their loved ones fof so long now and that the way they died was so public.
it was really interesting in the Children of 9/11 documentary to hear the perspective of the kids whose mums had remarried and they had younger siblings. That butterfly effect or sliding doors thing, if their dad had been somewhere else they’d have had a different life with a family unit they never got to experience, but would they choose that if it meant they didn’t get the family they did get to grow up in…? An impossible question.
I was 11 when it happened, just started secondary school and I remember coming home and watching Friends with my older brother, we must have put the TV straight on to VHS or DVD because we were totally unaware anything had happened. My mum came running in from work about an hour later and switched over to the news. I didn’t realise the scale of it for a few years afterwards but growing up in London I remember being really worried that something would happen to my dad and I’ve always had a bit of an anxiety issue with the tube, even before 7/7.
I think why it morbidly fascinates so many of us is that it was all gone so quickly and was right before the age of digital cameras/camera phones becoming ubiquitous. So other than the eyewitness accounts, people who weren’t there can’t really understand what it was like and as humans we have that curiosity. As an earlier poster said, it was just a normal day going into work and we can all identify with that.
