Q&A: Sean Wilsey and U.S. Consul General
A deeply human documentary that weaves together the experiences of a handful of ordinary people in New York on 9/11.
Eschewing geopolitics or analysis, the film primarily unfolds through the voices of its subjects, becoming a meditation on human lives, all different yet all transformed by the events of 9/11.
“I welcome the film as a new step into new terrain – concerning storytelling and a new approach to link persons together with their experiences that have only one common point of reference, and all the rest is the beauty of storytelling, and looking into the hearts of people. And with this goes something I have postulated for a long time: documentaries have to “divorce” themselves from journalism.” – Werner Herzog
