Short Attention Span Cinema: “Remembering September 11th” from StoryCorps
Friday, September 10 - Thursday, November 4, 2021
The first certified fatality of the September 11th attacks. An airline professional working the ticketing desk on September 11, 2001. A father who lost two sons in the same tragedy. The lasting love of people lost.
In recognition of the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, StoryCorps has put together a few stories from our September 11th Initiative, created in partnership with The National September 11 Memorial & Museum. These stories are told by survivors and those who lost loved ones on that day and in the events to follow. Their words illustrate the innumerable personal costs of this national tragedy. We hope that this collection offers a space for reflection and remembrance.
