Rebirth
Filmmaker Jim Whitaker profiles five people whose lives were irreversibly changed by the 9/11 terrorist attacks while using time-lapse cameras to document the reconstruction of 7 World Trade Center over several years. A student mourns the mother he lost in the World Trade Center that fateful day; a woman who was on a level above the impact zone struggles with vivid memories that will never fade; a first responder's widow contends with the loss of her spouse and best friend; a firefighter recalls his friends who perished in the chaos; and a key figure in the Ground Zero reconstruction reveals what it's like to witness progress in a place where so much tragedy occurred. As these survivors share their incredible stories, the reconstruction of 7 World Trade Center is captured on 17 time-lapse cameras.
