With material from almost 30 filmmakers, director Steven Rosenbaum turns the tragic events of September 11, 2001—the memories of which are forever jarred in our psyches—into a moving portrait of emotion, loss and even kindness. Although the film uses footage of the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and the resulting catastrophic loss, it also hones in on New York City’s tremendous ability to rebuild, through will and compassion.

In the wake of the World Trade Center attacks, New Yorkers from all walks of life felt compelled to overcome their sense of powerlessness by volunteering to help out in the recovery effort. They brought in supplies, set up relief stations, and for ten months fed and cared for the recovery workers.  Many deep and unexpected, even unlikely relationships developed as a result.

Using cinema verite footage, interviews and archival photographs, several characters are followed through a series of events and examine how a diverse group of people transcended politics and culture in an effort to heal their city and themselves.

Susan Retik and Patti Quigley were two ordinary soccer moms living in the affluent suburbs of Boston until the tragedy of September 11 struck. Rather than turn inward, grief compelled these women to focus on empowering widows in the country where the terrorists who took their husbands’ lives were trained: Afghanistan.

As Susan and Patti make the courageous journey from their comfortable neighborhoods to the most desperate Afghan villages, they discover a powerful bond with each other, an unlikely kinship with widows halfway around the world, and a profound way to move beyond tragedy. From the ruins of the World Trade Center to Kabul and back, Beyond Belief is a journey of personal strength, international reconciliation and a testament to the vision that peace can be forged… one woman at a time.

SAINT OF 9/11 weaves interviews with friend and colleagues such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Malachi McCourt, congregants and Mychal’s own words. The film portrays Mychal’s life as a spiritual adventure and an honest embrace of life. SAINT OF 9/11 is the story of a life’s journey interrupted. Inspired by his life, the documentary embraces Mychal’s full humanity.

In a true display of togetherness, 200 artists, public figures, athletes, and police workers united to remake the classic song “We Are Family” eleven days following the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Well-known music producer Nile Rodgers covered the song’s production while filmmaker Danny Schechter documented the effort. Notable contributors included Spike Lee--whose direction helped make the music video possible--and a host of legendary performers such as Dionne Warwick, Eartha Kitt, Diana Ross, Bernadette Peters, Pattie LaBelle, and more. The stars appear here in a natural light, with the focus being on the victims of the attacks (whose families also appear in the film) rather than on make-up or appearance.
