Overview

Beginning with the North Tower afire and billowing dense smoke, and ending with the vast expanse of ash-brown debris the following morning, WTC: THE FIRST 24 HOURS documents -ground zero- in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001.This documentary was shot independently over a 24-hour period. It is first a witness to the fall of the twin towers, as a line of fire and a buckle in the armature signal imminent collapse. It is then an intimate view of the smoldering monocromatic site and the surrounding solitary streets; the ashen outskirts of New York's financial center, desolate and strewn with debris, and the epicenter, a steel moonscape of Dresdenesque remains. People on the site work monotonously--first in a fervor, then dazed and trance-like. The images speak for themselves, intentionally devoid of any commentary or musicThis presentation contains two versions of WTC: THE FIRST 24 HOURS, the expanded documentary and the original version, which began as a raw reflection of -ground zero- in the wake of the World Trade Center collapse.
