Filmmaker Steven Rosenbaum made archival footage and thousands of clips from his 9/11 film
7 Days in September available for free viewing on Google.com for several weeks this past fall.
The award-winning film, which captured the emotions of videographers documenting 9/11, premiered in 2002 at the Smithsonian Institute and in theaters around the country. The New
York Times described the documentary as “perhaps the most thoughtful and emotionally
engaging film to come out of the attack on the World Trade Center.”
