Description
September 2009 and a confident 13-year-old, Anna Sweeney, walks up to a podium to read from a list of victims. Smiling back at her 11-year-old brother Jack, she proudly reads out the name Amy Sweeney, their mother, a cabin attendant on American Airlines Flight 11. But Anna has not been smiling much in the last eight years. Just five years old in 2001, she has grown up seeing, again and again, the image of the jetliner screaming into the side of the World Trade Centre. And every time she sees it she knows she is watching her mother die. We’ve seen the news footage, heard the front-line accounts and shared the grief of widows, parents and friends. But nine years on from this terrible event it’s time for a new and unique perspective on the enormous impact of 9/11. This film will give voice, for the first time, to the young people affected by 9/11. They are the children who lost their parents and those who were born after their parent was killed.
