9/11: Escape From the Towers

release year: 2018
genre: documentary
viewing setting: home streaming 9/11/26

synopsis: This documentary follows the stories of some people from one floor in each tower, before and during and after.

impressions: This had real accounts from people who made it out, and some of their relatives. It was a vivid and moving re-creation of the events of that day, as they did their best to get out and help others while lacking full knowledge of what was happening. I realized that back then, nobody even suspected that a skyscraper could collapse. This felt like you were right there with these people as they struggled to survive.In some of the peoples' stories, it wasn't revealed until the end that they made it, so there were some heartwarming surprises.

acting: n/a, these accounts came from the actual people who were there that day

final word: Powerful.
