Film: "Rebirth"
Monday-Friday, September 12-16

 From early 2002 through 2009, the "Rebirth" film crew chronicled the lives of five people directly affected by 9/11. The participants include a survivor from an impact floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC); a firefighter who survived the collapse of the WTC but lost his best friend; a high school student who lost his mother; a young woman who lost her fiancé; and a construction worker who lost his brother, assisted with recovery efforts, and is presently helping to build the Freedom Tower. Their narratives are the thread of recovery and resiliency from grief, loss and trauma that comprise the unique message of the film.
"Rebirth" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2011. For more information |
