about the work

One New Yorker's personal take on September 11th and its aftermath. Harrowing images from the first 36 hours give way to the rituals: missing persons posters, makeshift memorials, and patriotic displays. Scenes of devastation are juxtaposed with a growing parade of tourists seeking a connection to this historical event by snapping photos and collecting souvenirs. The film asks disturbing questions about how the global electronic village banalizes acts of terror and murder.
