Heroism & Resilience of 9/11: An Interview with Michael Gier

What if the most important 9/11 stories are not the ones you already know? Michael Gier explains why his new 9/11 documentary looks beyond the attacks to the untold stories of heroism, resilience, service, and second chances that followed. In this Voiceover interview, Gier discusses The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11, his nearly five-year filmmaking process, 35 hours of interviews, and the decision to use reenactments to tell stories connected to Flight 93, the World Trade Center, the 9/11 boatlift, and New York Says Thank You. Michael Gier focuses on stories of service, sacrifice, and resilience, whether in narrative or documentary filmmaking. He produced the award-winning documentaries Wounded Heroes and Healing the Heroes of 9/11.
