Editorial Review:
Two days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Bill Moyers began interviewing people about the significance of what had happened. It may have seemed too soon for such reflection, yet one could make the case that thoughts expressed by Moyers's guests in the immediate aftermath entirely outclass the countless hours of news and analysis shows that followed. The interviews are vintage Moyers, who sits and quietly speaks one-on-one with such people as author Robert J. Lifton, Harvard religion professor Diana Eck, theatrical director Julie Taymor, and Afghan-American editor and writer Tamim Ansary (whose passionate explanatory e-mail about Afghanistan was widely circulated on the Internet soon after the attacks). People talk of good and evil, religion and mythology, heroism and humanity, all with a level of nuance never to be found on the cable network shoutfests. No one raises his or her voice, yet much of what is said will resonate in one's thoughts after the TV tube has grown cold. --Robert J. McNamara
In a series of special 30-minute programs journalist Bill Moyers speaks with guests from the humanities and faith communities to explore the background and aftermath of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.
Guests include: Andrew De

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An uplifting gem
I found this disc to be thought-provoking, uplifting and (typical of Moyers) varied in its approach to the problem of 9/11 and global terrorism. It is NOT for those who want sensational news clips or sound-bite style presentation. There are no gimmicks, merely insightful commentary on the subject at hand from the different perspectives of the individuals interviewed. A pleasant surprise and relief from "THE FACTS"...
Rating: - seeking answers in the aftershocks
I think this is an important video. The whole nation was reeling after 9/11, trying to make sense of the horror. This is a snapshot of our thoughts as we grappled with our confusion and fear. I've overdosed on the gratuitous, sensationalist replays of collapsing towers and shots of the aftermath--every time a network rebroadcasts the scene, I feel they are cheapening this very personal and loaded experience of 9/11. I want to move past the horrificness and move on to understanding how human beings ... Read More
Rating:  - Are we sure this is really Bill Moyers?
I was pretty sorely disappointed in this disc. I expected to see news footage or even accounts from people who spoke above a monotone. Instead, it consisted of a collection of very boring individuals "experts" and such, sharing their thoughts, some of it pertinent, some of it just rambling.
I am giving it a one star rating based on the fact that I liked the cover art on the disc. That's about all I liked, though.
Bill Moyers is normally a great journalist. Why he would choose to ... Read More
Rating: - I'm glad I didn't buy it
I was glad I borrowed this DVD before buying it. It's just Bill Moyers talking to people about September 11th and their opinions. I want to collect as much as I can in regards to September 11th for my childern and their childern. It's part of our history just like Pearl Harbor. This DVD is not worth buy.
