Coming to the History Channel tomorrow, Thursday, September 11: REBUILDING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
Marcus Robinson’s chronicle of rebirth from the perspective of construction workers made its debut on Britain’s Channel 4 last year. It went on to screen at DOC NYC, and now screens on the anniversary of the fall of the Twin Towers.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
As construction began on Ground Zero, with new towers being raised in a symbolic rebirth from 9/11, artist and filmmaker Marcus Robinson documented the entire process. Stunning time-lapse photography, paintings, drawings and, most affectingly, interviews with the men and women working on the site, capture both the physical enormity of the six-year task and the emotional impact the undertaking has on the workers, and, by extension, New York as a whole.
