September 11 was produced by Empire Arts in 2002. That means it was produced within a year of the tragedy of 911 when nearly 4000 people were killed on American soil by Islamic terrorists. It is a documentary presenting the stories of September 11 from several different angles.
I must admit I was unable to watch it very closely. Not because it was showing graphic material, but because it seemed to me like a propaganda piece trying to put the reaction of different societies into a different light. It had the Iranian School teacher trying to get her children to understand the tragic event, it showed an interaction between and Egyptian film maker and a U.S. soldier killed years earlier in the bombing in Lebanon. To me it was an attempt by different cultures to explain how they would be effected by 911 and that it wasn't going to be good. It did not show the dancing in the street in some Muslim countries which was recorded the day the tragedy. You can't wash over the tragedy by telling the story in a different way than it happened.
I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I got it from the library. If you see it there just let it stay on the shelf rather than waste your time.
