Film Discussion – 9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero
September 11 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm CDT
After the 9/11 attacks, no one could agree on what should be done with Ground Zero. And so New York decided to do one of the bravest — or stupidest — things in the history of city planning. They gathered 5,000 representative New Yorkers and asked them to decide. People expected chaos, yelling, maybe even a fistfight. But what happened was democracy. And it was beautiful. Runtime: 70 minutes
We choose films that address social, political, or cultural issues that are relevant to society today. They may highlight liberal-leaning, conservative-leaning, or independent themes, or feature actors or directors from opposite sides of the political spectrum.
We’ll be discussing the film 9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero
