9/11: The Falling Man
9/11: The Falling Man
BAFTA-nominated documentary that delves deep into one of the most haunting images to emerge in the aftermath of the fateful September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. This compelling film places the spotlight on the photograph—an arresting depiction of a man free-falling, allowing gravity to take him as he escapes the burning towers.
As we recount the events of that fateful day and the nation's collective response, the documentary zeroes in on this powerful image, unravelling the story behind the photographer who captured it, its widespread dissemination, the public's reaction, and the perplexing decision to label it as "UN-newsworthy."
