Director Steven Rosenbaum compiles footage of the tragic September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on New York City and the ensuing several days for a chaotic, harrowing, and ultimately moving portrait of massive loss and how people cope with tragedy. Utilizing the work of no less then 27 independent filmmakers, 7 DAYS IN SEPTEMBER starts with the oft-seen footage of planes hitting the World Trade Center and the buildings' subsequent collapse. The subsequent footage, however, shows not only individuals expressing grief and sorrow, but also a city responding to catastrophe with determination and generosity. While certainly difficult to enjoy, this is a valuable document that is sure to evoke an emotional response. [More]

A reminder of the tremendous human spirit and generosity New Yorkers showed after their WTC was destroyed by terrorists.

What distinguishes 'Seven Days in September' are the smaller scale moments that it captures, individual human elements within the broader sweep of events.

The film not only stands as an important street-level document of that time, but makes a valuable contribution to the growing compilation of 9/11 storytelling.

It recreates what those days felt like with excruciating precision: the wild panic, the moments of funereal calm, the spontaneous blossoming of solidarity and fellow feeling.

If ever there was a prime example of art bringing order out of chaos, it is Steven Rosenbaum's 7 Days in September.

The tragedy and the many responses to it come alive here in a raw, immediate way that suffers no loss of impact for its aversion to melodrama.

Offers a fine counterpoint to the more fatuous and opportunistic takes on shared tragedy and collective grief.

The documentary 7 Days In September does an exemplary job of acting as a vital memorial to the terrorist events of last September 11, and the one week in New York City that followed.
