9/12 : From Chaos To Community

9/12 : From Chaos To Community Synopsis

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.
