A Changed New York

Even as New York begins to rebuild after 9/11, there remains a deep sense of loss in the city. How are New Yorkers coping with their loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, the loss of faith, or the loss of a sense of security? This documentary presents stories of people whose lives have changed dramatically as they cope with the lasting impact of the attack: the family of a Long Island woman who died in the World Trade Center still trying to make sense of her death; formerly unconnected neighbors who have found a new sense of community; people who have considered extraordinary measures to protect themselves because they fear another attack; NYPD 911 operators who were working on that day, and have discovered a new appreciation for life; a romance that began at Ground Zero. The documentary reveals the inner landscape of people’s emotions and how 9/11 has impacted values, family, work, political views, spirituality, and community. Listeners will find elements of their own responses to 9/11 in the stories they hear. Read the rest of this entry »
