collection of dramatic testimonials from U.S. leaders, firefighters, flight attendants,
veterans, family members and, for the first time, survivors who miraculously escaped from
above the impact zone of World Trade Center Tower Two. The power of the
documentary, which is punctuated by archival photos and footage, comes from the faces
and raw emotions of the interviewees, who are filmed in front of a white screen speaking
bluntly and emotionally about the traumas they experienced, the losses they shouldered,
and the resolve and support that sustained them over the past decade.

newsstands Friday, Sept. 9) and a 112-page commemorative book, which feature
photographs from award-winning photographer Marco Grob. There is also a special
TIME.com website and a multi-media exhibit of photographs by Grob at New York?s Milk
Gallery. CNN will also be airing BEYOND 9/11: PORTRAITS OF RESILIENCE, along
