Summary *Coarse Language*Compass examines the deep and enduring social, religious and cultural implications of 9/11 from an Australian perspective through the eyes of those directly affected.Ten years ago we watched in disbelief as the Twin Towers collapsed before our eyes. Even as it was happening we were told the 'world had changed' and a decade on, it's evident many things have: from terrorism to heightened security and suspicion toward many things Muslim. The legacy of 9/11 vacillates between personal loss and the collective experience of tragedy. Religion has come under the spotlight too, while 'Islamophobia' and moral panic about values have led some to claim that Multiculturalism has failed.But has 9/11 really changed as us a society? What about our faith, values and perceptions? In this 10th anniversary special, Compass reflects on the ongoing repercussions and legacy of 9/11 through the experiences of Australians directly and indirectly affected.Two powerful personal stories propel this story. Paul Gyulavar's twin brother Peter was one of the 13 known Australians killed in the attacks. He was an architect working in the South Tower on Level 91.Ben Matthews was in New York staying in a hotel next door to the Twin Towers. Sleeping in saved his life, but he got caught up in the chaotic aftermath. His photographs provide an intensely personal and never before seen perspective on the moments after the attacks.As these personal stories unfold, a diverse range of informants and social commentators address the legacy and consequences of 9/11 for Australia.PRODUCTION DETAILSCompass Executive Producer: Rose Hesp
