UNITED 93, director Paul Greengrass's meticulous reconstruction of the events surrounding the crash--the result of a heroic struggle between the passengers and hijackers--of the fourth plane to be hijacked on September 11, 2001, is a landmark in filmmaking. Greengrass has chosen the most politically and emotionally charged source material available to an artist in the early 21st century, and shaped it into a psychologically draining, terrifyingly real, and technically brilliant film.
A 2003 Academy Award recipient for Best Documentary short, TWIN TOWERS is a moving profile of the New York Police Department's Emergency Service Unit, located in the South Bronx. We are introduced to those who work there prior to September 11, 2001, and then we revisit the unit after the tragedy, which claimed the lives of 14 of the 23 officers who were stationed there.
