In the chaos and confusion of the 9/11 terrorist attacks countless cameras were rolling… in apartments, on sidewalks, inside offices, and in the hands of ordinary people who never expected to document history…...While some of that footage was widely broadcast, much of it remained unseen. In this video we’ll look at the rarely seen and often forgotten recordings from that day….not to sensationalise the tragedy, but to preserve memories, understand lived experiences, and honour the reality of what unfolded through the perspectives of those who were there.
