Liberty Street: Alive at Ground Zero (NR)

synopsis

More than just another September 11 movie, the film is a haunting record of the surreal world that existed in the aftermath of the fall of the towers. Featuring stunning, shot-on-the-fly footage of a downtown dystopia that has long since vanished from the public consciousness, it is a portrait of a city under siege, and a record of the people who struggled to restore their corner of the world to order. It challenges more simplistic, mainstream views of Ground Zero with vivid portraits of exceptional New Yorkers who made a place for themselves in that tragic and transitory neighborhood.
