The documentary followed her painful surgeries to treat massive burns to her face and body. </p> </p> <p>Nicholas is a teenager who lost his mother, an employee at Lehman Brothers. His journey is to learn as much as he can about what his mom was like and <A HREF='https://www.pyeongtaekkranma.xyz/'>평택출장업소</A> to chronicle the impact of her death on the family she left behind. In one of the most compelling moments of the film, Nicholas tells us with raw emotion what his mother’s loss did to him. </p> </p> <p>Tanya’s story reveals the swirl of unending despair she found herself enveloped in after her fiance, a New York City firefighter, died in the attacks. Two other pieces document the last moments of first responders, one through the eyes of a man who lost his firefighter brother and best friend, and the other through a firefighter who survived while his best friend and colleague did not. </p> </p> <p>First-hand accounts of how these subjects learned of their losses stands out as a time capsule of events. </p> </p> <p>“Rebirth” will be released theatrically in Los Angeles, New York  and Boston on Aug. 31 before being broadcast on Sept. 11 on Showtime. </p> </p> <p>Whitaker, who was president of motion pictures for Imagine Entertainment before he struck out on his own to helm Whitaker Entertainment, says the film is about moving forward and finding hope, something he says each of the subjects has managed to do in his or her own way. </p> </p> <p>He conducted the interviews at intervals from 2002-2009 and says throughout filming, the documentary unfolded in a very organic way. </p> </p> <p>He says he was conscious of the fact that he wanted to let the natural journeys and evolution of his subjects dictate where the film went and spoke of the feeling of freedom he felt in not knowing where or how any of the stories would end. </p> </p> <p>Use of multiple cameras stationed at ground zero captured months and months of footage and helped document the passage of time. Clever cutting back and forth between subjects ensured the big picture was not lost in the details of any one character’s journey. </p> </p> <p>Whitaker’s film is not just compelling viewing; it serves as a valuable historical record for future generations. </p> </p> <p>For those of us who witnessed or were in any way impacted by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, it is a lesson, reminding us that from the throes of despair can rise the magnificence of new beginnings. It stands as a testament to the world that those we lost that day did not go quietly, nor did they go in vain.</p> </div> </div> <div class=
