Nat Geo marks 9/11 20th anniversary with multiple documentaries
9/11: One Day in America
To create this docuseries, the filmmaking team sifted through 951 hours of archival footage - some never seen before - to make an immersive and emotionally charged seven-hour account of that fateful day 20 years ago. From the moment when the New York City Fire Department and New York Police Department were first called onto the scene of the World Trade Center that September morning to the devastating moments of collision and the chaos that ensued, National Geographic follows the timeline of the day through archival footage and photographs captured by journalists and bystanders.
"With this series, we aim to immortalise these stories and continue National Geographic's legacy of authentic, powerful storytelling that provides deeper meaning around important historical events." Testimony includes that of the first FDNY chief to arrive at the World Trade Center on the morning of 11 September, a firefighter who escapes the North Tower just before it collapsed, paramedics first to the scene who recall their devastating encounters of searching for life in the rubble, and bystanders who share their rescue stories after being trapped inside the towers under mountains of concrete.
