After the towers fell, New York filled with smoke, sirens, and impossible choices. Civilian volunteers, many from the entertainment industry used their equipment, skills, and crews to help Ground Zero endure the unthinkable.

An on-the-scene documentary following the events of September 11, 2001 from an insider's view, through the lens of two French filmmakers who simply set out to make a movie about a rookie NYC fireman and ended up filming the tragic event that changed our lives forever.

This documentary retraces the attacks of September 11th, 2001 in precise chronological order—in the air, at Ground Zero, in newsrooms and in the centers of power in the USA. Archival footage, audio recordings and findings from the 9/11 Commission Report make it possible to reconstruct the events, almost in real time.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, this gripping documentary tells the untold story of the 170 people trapped inside Windows on the World, the iconic restaurant on the top floors of the World Trade Center’s North Tower.

In official collaboration with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, this documentary series takes viewers through harrowing moments of the historic morning of September 11, 2001.
