Synopsis
At 8.46AM on September 11th 2001, American Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Within minutes a deluge of telephone calls flooded into the outside world. Voices From Inside the Towers is about those calls, and the stories behind those who made them. These astonishing few minutes, saturated with need and impact that none of us will ever endure, are gateways back into relationships, love stories, school triumphs, holidays abroad, family histories between caller and respondent. For the first time, HISTORY presents a film that, while acknowledging the compelling narrative of those 102 minutes, uses the power of filmmaking to portray the extraordinary lives behind just a few of those who fought for life, sought to understand the chaos and then, in many cases, calmly accepted death. \n\nEach story is told largely through the present day: the resonant memories of the loved ones families and their need for closure. Each contributor will tell their own memories of that fateful morning - a father, son, husband, sister and how each followed the unfolding drama minute by minute as we track our chosen subjects journey through the Towers.
