16 Acres

Description: 16 Acres Description: Product Description The rebuilding Ground Zero is the most architecturally, politically, and emotionally complex construction project in recent American history. The struggle to develop these 16 acres of 'sacred' land has encompassed 12 years, 19 government agencies, and over $20 billion. Aside from the engineering challenges, various constituencies politicians, developers, architects, insurers, local residents, and relatives of 9/11 victims profess conflicting claims to the site. 16 Acres is the inside story of how and why this historic project got built. At the heart of the story is the dramatic tension between noblest intentions, the desire of everyone involved to "get it right," and the politics, hubris, ego and ideology that is the bedrock of New York City. Review "Incisive and absorbing. A fascinating portrait of trying to make headway in the charged atmosphere of devastating personal loss and wounded national pride. Whether it's following the protests of a deceased firefighter's sister or tracing a humanity-restoring biography of vilified developer Larry Silverstein, Hankin's evenhanded film builds a concise, enlightening account from a decade of confusion." --Los Angeles Times "Riveting and emotional." --New York Post "Uncommonly engrossing and articulate." --Variety Returns: In the unlikely event that you would like to return your purchase, we allow returns that are processed within 30 days of date of purchase.
