Filmmaker Pola Rapaport was at home, 18 blocks due north of the World Trade Center when the first plane flew directly overhead. Her "
SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH: EYEWITNESSES" shows super-8 images of the posters of missing people and slow-motion shots of construction teams at work on the 6-storey pile of rubble. These images are juxtaposed with voice-over eyewitness accounts of her friends and neighbors who saw the disaster first-hand as it unfolded.BIO
