  • On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City firefighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward, just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. In a fateful instant, Jules and Gedeon became eyewitnesses to the most shocking and defining moment of our time.

    With cameras rolling, the Naudets followed NYC firefighters into the heart of what would be known as Ground Zero. What emerged is an unforgettably powerful visual document and a stirring tribute to real-life heroes who, in their city's darkest hour, rose to extraordinary acts of courage and compassion. (Studio Copy).

    First broadcast on CBS in 2001 and then repeated on the one-year anniversary, the two hour documentary - directed by the Naudet's and James Hanlon - takes the viewer on an incredibly emotional and gripping journey through one of America's darkest days and the heroic efforts of one of NYC's firehouses.

    The film contains strong profanity and intense thematic material that might not be suitable for all viewers. Parental discretion is strongly advised.
