Why Watch This

This is the single most-referenced 9/11 documentary in existence, and for good reason: it's not reconstructed or narrated after the fact, it's the actual, unrepeatable footage of that day as it happened, from inside the North Tower lobby. Every other documentary on this list exists in its shadow.

If the raw, unfiltered footage in 9/11 affected you, 9/11: Firehouse and In the Shadow of the Towers: Stuyvesant High on 9/11 share that same ground-level, first-person vantage point.
