Résumé:

Extrait du site Web :

I’m Jim Whitaker, the Founder and Director of Project Rebirth; thanks for visiting our web site. Shortly after 9/11, I was visiting New York City from my home in LA, and went to Ground Zero to experience for myself as best I could what was happening there. Along with the despair and anger I felt, I sensed the determination and resolve of the first responders and volunteers working to clear the site – and knew then that somehow New York would cope, the site would be rebuilt, and that this process urgently needed to be captured on film over the coming years. So myself and our small team began Project Rebirth by installing time-lapse cameras at Ground Zero to record the hour-by-hour re-development of the site, and began chronicling the lives of ten people grieving and coping post 9/11. Today, we are more than halfway through creating this unique historical record, and Project Rebirth will be a part of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, and archived at the US Library of Congress. In the coming months and years we will continue working to ensure that as much of the physical re-building is captured before this history is lost forever, and to tell as fully as possible our subjects’ stories – so that audiences will better understand and appreciate how people cope with the trauma of disasters. More than six years after the attacks, activity at the WTC site is increasing day by day as construction of the Freedom Tower and its sister buildings move into full swing – and our work over this time at the site has made us aware of how easy it is to miss critical events. We need your financial support to keep our cameras rolling and to expand the filming of the rebuilding of Ground Zero.
