This documentary contains never-before-released raw footage of New York City, captured, just days after the September 11 attacks. The footage preserves the unusual silence, subdued atmosphere, and emotional weight felt throughout the city in the days that followed.

In the days, weeks, and years that followed, the country mourned together. Lives were changed, families were forever altered, and a sense of safety many had taken for granted was gone.

But life continued. People returned to work, schools reopened, families gathered, and communities came together as the country slowly found a way forward.

Twenty-five years later, the memories of September 11, 2001 remain deeply woven into the history of New York City and the nation.

This footage is presented as a record of those first days after, and in remembrance of the lives lost, the families affected, and a country forever changed.
