On September 11, 2001 the world stopped and watched in horror as firefighters, paramedics and other rescue workers rushed into the burning towers of the World Trade Center in New York to rescue more than 25,000 people. Less than one hour later more than 340 firefighters had been killed. Film maker Paul Berriff was there at the scene. He caught on camera the moment that the towers collapsed, and on that morning he struck up a relationship with a group of firemen: Stephen Gregory, Assistant Commissioner, commander of over 600 men and women; Battalion Chief Arthur Lakiotes, safety specialist, the eyes and ears of the FDNY; and Mike Puzziferri, Bronx Battalion Chief, always the first on scene. This film is an intimate and moving portrayal of their lives in the year following the disaster.

This film was first broadcast: 29 Aug 2002
