That Dreadful Day,
By D. (England) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 7 Days in September: A Powerful Story About 9/11 (DVD)
I bought this DVD more for the history behind it rather than something to view. I had put it to one side and when Amazon asked for my views I decided that I would have to bite the bullet and watch it.
I was watching tv when the pictures of the two planes flying into first one then the second of the Twin Towers flashed onto the screen so I had already seen the horror and destruction first hand so to speak. This DVD showed what happened to the Twin Towers, it did not glory in it. It gave anyone who had not seen the catastrophe an idea of what had happened on that day, and for several days afterwards. I had seen all the news footage but it is surprising how quickly we forget. I had forgotten how the crowds had stood at the side of the road and cheered and clapped the emergency workers as they had gone to and fro to that awful scene. I am glad I bought the DVD, I am glad I watched it, and I will save it as a reminder of a day in the world's history. ............

Powerful without being overly sentimental,
By
This review is from: 7 Days in September: A Powerful Story About 9/11 (DVD)
Probably the best documentary I have seen on 9/11. Not overblown or overly sentimental. This documentary shows how the people of New York handled this tragedy from the 11th through the 17th of September. It is much more personal than what we saw on the news or on any of the broadcast "documentaries". You get to see how shock turns into confusion then anger. You get to see, close up, how the city of New York banded together to help one another. If you wondered what was going on in the everyday lives of the people in New York during this awful time, rent this CD. Very well done and I will say that you do not have to look at the towers being hit and going down more than once. There is a lot of footage I have not seen anywhere. It appears that this documentary was put together by filmmakers who were in the city possibly working on other projects or who just picked up their cameras and went out into the city. The piece basicaly follows a timeline. There are no special features on this disc and they don't really need any. The piece speaks for itself.

9/11 Revisited,
This review is from: 7 Days in September: A Powerful Story About 9/11 (DVD)
7 Days in September is the finest film that I have seen yet regarding the tragedy of 11September2001. It shows how the people of New York came together in a way that they never have before (and, with the tragic way our country has become so fiercely partisan since then) haven't since.
Being a radical movie buff myself, there are very few movies that I would say are a must see. But 7 Days in September is a must see in order to understand what happened. This documentary brings back the tragedy of that day and all the feelings associated with it. Buy it here at Amazon, rent it at a video store (if you must) or even borrow it from a friend. But, if you remember that horrific time, watch this movie and share it with others. The beginning of overcoming the problem of radical hatred is understanding the what, who, how and why. This film will aid you in that.
