I too watched yesterday a wonderful film we’ll worth watching.

I watched this yesterday. What a brilliant film, Michael Keaton is a wonderful actor.

Is there such a thing as an easy clean oven?

Yes, moving and shocking at the same time.

There is so much more to this than we ever realised .

The stories from the children of 9/11 who were either little or unborn at the time of the disaster are equally moving.

I have watched all the documentaries being shown recently and there is always new evidence, news and insights as to what happened in the afrermath.
Home movie footage from people living nearby, shocking, shocking. You just cannot believe what you are seeing and hearing.

Yes I believe you Zoejory. When looking at the Guardian article it mentioned how difficult the subject was and how previous efforts hadn't been so successful.
Obviously they think this one is.

And it's not even about the horrific events. It's about the issues faced when trying to determine the worth of the victims.

You're welcome, HolySox. It's well worth watching.

Thanks Zoejory. I don't have Netflix. The thread I started about the other programme I felt unique because it was all told with live footage. I think it's difficult to dramatise a terrible, true catastrophic event without it somehow being distasteful and ending up being essentially 'entertainment'.

Worth is not remotely distasteful.

Sounds interesting. A different take on 9/11. Thanks, will check this out.

We watched this the other night and were captivated. Gripping, sad, thoughtful. An insight into the individuals and problems facing the bereaved.

The Guardian has praised it as one of the best 9/11 films

Definitely worth watching
