Debris is a 25 minute film made in collaboration with the National September 11th Memorial and Museum. This documentary tells the story of September 11th, 2001 using bystander footage, source audio and newly composed music. Some of what you'll see may seem familiar - but certain events in Debris have rarely been viewed by the public. I've spent the last handful of years finding what I believe to be some of the most important footage of that day in order to preserve the memory of this day for future generations.
Youtube has decided to restrict this film because of the nature of the subject material. This is interesting since hundreds of million of people saw the attacks live on television 21 years ago. Please be assured that my team and I took great care in omitting far more intense moments of the attacks that could have been perceived as exploitative, shocking or salacious.
Most of what you'll see and hear in this film is recovered film and audio from the day of the attacks in lower Manhattan, Washington DC and Shanksville, PA. This documentary is not designed to shock, re-traumatize or entertain. It is simply an audible record of the day - a time capsule to hold history in place for coming generations.
