On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City fire-fighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward, just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. In a fateful instant, Jules and Gedeon became eyewitnesses to the most shocking and defining moment of our time.

With cameras rolling, the Naudets followed NYC fire-fighters into the heart of what would be known as Ground Zero. What emerged is an unforgettably powerful visual document and a stirring tribute to real-life heroes who, in their city's darkest hour, rose to extraordinary acts of courage and compassion.
