Disc #1Metal of Honor: The Ironworkers of 9/11 is a documentary film about the ironworkers who worked on the World Trade Center after 9/11. “The work’s dirty, but the money’s clean,” one ironworker says of his job. Also on camera is his colleague Paul Gaulden, a quietly heroic figure who helped build the Twin Towers, and then helped bury them. Before the program moves into a chronicle of the ground zero cleanup, several ironworkers remember the towers with awe. The two buildings, says one man, were “New York flexing its muscle.” For these men, for whom iron and steel are regularly an extension of their own strength, pride in the towers, together made of more than 200,000 tons of steel, seems like pride in their own bodies. “That was our steel,” says Tommy Harris, an ironworker. “That belonged to us.” Many of these men have skin that appears blistered and singed. In photographs of the aftermath, amid the smoldering mangled steel and body parts of what they call “the pile,” the ironworkers look like men working in hell. Disc #2 - ON NATIVE SOIL (Court TV) It's not just the lack of agency coordination that "On Native Soil" exposes. Ellman's documentary, which will be shown on Court TV as well as at the Roxie, is a complicated story. It is narrated by Kevin Costner and Hilary Swank and includes interviews of police officers, political figures, rescue workers, relatives of people who died in the attacks and intelligence pundits. As the film unfolds, laying out the sequence of events of that day while bringing in interviews, the story of how the commission uncovered many layers of governmental blunders and mishandling gets told with remarkable clarity. Disc #3 - DUST TO DUST: THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF 9/11Five years after 9/11, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center continue to claim the lives of American citizens. The violent collapse of the buildings released hundreds of thousands of pounds of deadly materials into the air - including carcinogens such as asbestos and benzene, lead and mercury from the thousands of crushed computers, and other toxins such as PCPs, PAHs and silicon particulates. Yet in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the federal agency responsible for safeguarding the public health - the Environmental Protection Agency - reassured everyone that their air was safe to breathe. Now more than ever - it seems that this was not the case. Countless first responders - emergency technicians, police officers, and firefighters - have grown ill as a result of their exposure to toxins from the smoldering pile that once was the World Trade Center. Disc #4 - BUILDING ON GROUND ZERO Lectures curated around NOVA: Building on Ground Zero and the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. break Following up on its documentary, “Why The Towers Fell,” NOVA probes the conclusions of the official engineering investigation into the World Trade Center’s collapse on 9/11, with updated analysis of the devastating attack and how subsequent knowledge gained will shape skyscrapers of the future. Yet, is it practical or even possible to construct invincible buildings? This film features candid interviews with leading building and safety experts, investigators, architects and engineers — including Leslie Robertson, lead structural engineer of the original World Trade Center and Shanghai’s new World Financial Center, evacuation specialist Jake Pauls and mor Disc #5 - THE MIRACLE OF STAIRWELL BThe Miracle of Stairway B is a 2011 documentary which tells the story of how 12 firefighters, a police officer, a bookkeeper, an engineer and an office worker survived the collapse of the North Tower on 9/11 despite being on the 22nd floor inside the building at the time. They found themselves trapped in a small pocket having been on the staircase at the time of the North Tower’s collapse, they were eventually found and rescued by emergency services in the aftermath, Stairwell B is commonly referred to as the ‘Survivors’ Staircase’. Disc #6- "What We Saw." In words, pictures and video, WHAT WE SAW is a unique historical record of the events of September 11th.
