| Summary |
*Adult Themes and Coarse Language*Premiering on the 10th anniversary of the events of 9/11, Rebirth is a riveting journey into living history - an act of personal witness to one of the most profoundly consequential events in American history and the healing that has come in its wake. How does the journey of grieving and recovery unfold for individuals and a nation? Rebirth chronicles the lives of five people profoundly affected by the 9/11 attacks. As a decade passes, we witness the progress of a student whose mother perished, a widow of a first responder, a woman who survived above the impact zone, a man who oversees Ground Zero construction, and a fire fighter who lost his closest friends. As they cope with the excruciating and evolving pain of loss, time helps them refashion the scaffolding of their lives.Meanwhile, amazingly, 14 time lapse cameras chart the entire multiyear rebuilding of 7 World Trade Center - the first structure to rise to completion after the tragedy. The site's renewal becomes a stunning metaphor for the cycle of life while the film's characters reflect the resilience of humanity and the possibility of transformation in the face of anguish. Inspiring a collective catharsis, this exquisitely moving documentary helps us process what is unimaginable. PRODUCTION DETAILSRebirth is directed by Jim Whitaker and produced by David Solomon and Whitaker, with Danielle Beverly serving as field producer. The director of photography is Tom Lappin and the editors are Kevin Filippini and Brad Fuller. The film's original score is composed by Academy Award winner Philip Glass |
