200 artists, public figures, athletes, and police workers united to remake the classic song "We Are Family" after September 11th
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.

as i watch this viedo it brings sadness to all the lives lost in 9/11. as i go back to remember to the day the twin towers were sturck, i think about the men who boarded that plane and they knew when they got on that plane they knew they had a choice to take the lives of those others. but many people don’t realize that if you think hard enough our world hasn’t changed from all the years. i just wish that all of man kind would once come together and not be at each others thorats over war, money, and greed. let us remember all of the people that were killed in 9/11. god bless the families and god bless the U.S.A. R.I.P VICTIMS

As I watch this film it gives me hope to see that all mankind can come together. What we don’t realize is that it doesn’t take hate and tragedy to bring us together, but love and peace. The anniversary of this event will be upon us next month. Let us remember that time is short but love lasts forever. RIP victims of 9/11. RIP those who took part in the making of this piece of work and have since gone on. GOD bless you all and GOD bless America!

Oh why couldn’t the love and kindness last. We as a nation were so loving towards one another after 9-11, random acts of kindness everywhere you looked. Now it’s back to the dog eat dog world it used to be!
