At its heart, this documentary is a depiction of resilience found in the aftermath of 9/11. Following ten intimate personal accounts, ‘Surviving 9/11: Where We Stand’ reflects on strength survivors have continuously found in community and themselves. They share experiences marked indelibly not only by loss, but also by optimism, and an enduring commitment to life in spite of tragedy. The documentary is a mirror to our current moment of ongoing global crisis and the hope that can be found even in the darkest of times. Yet, while the message of the film resonates at any moment, it carries particular poignancy in the late summer/early fall, when the anniversary of 9/11 invites reflection and remembrance.
