Remembering September 11 – 10 years later

REBIRTH

Rebirth is a riveting journey into living history – an act of personal witness to one of the most profoundly consequential events in American history and the healing that has come in its wake. The result of a decade-long production, Rebirth follows the inspirational transformation of five people whose lives were forever altered on September 11, 2001 – and simultaneously tracks via time-lapse photography the evolution of the space where the Twin Towers stood. What emerges is a singular experience, at once emotionally intimate and spiritually exhilarating. In the decade that has passed since 9/11, the media has focused intently on the event’s impact in every sphere of American life, from foreign policy to psychology. Rebirth now turns the focus back to those whose lives and dreams were shattered, and whose stories of rediscovering strength, optimism and meaning are essential to our understanding. The film has captured a series of personal dramas, including a fireman grappling with guilt after losing his best friend; a construction worker finding solace in new buildings rising from the wreckage; the fiancée of a First Responder whose life takes surprising turns; a survivor who escaped from an impact floor but confronts life-changing scars; and a high school student who uncovers new directions after the mother who meant everything to him perished. Their stories – raw and unforgettably real — are each unique. But together they become an portrait of human resiliency; a lyrical meditation on the nature of time, memory and loss; and a vital reflection on the national yearning to remember, honor and restore our dreams.

All proceeds to benefit Project Rebirth
