YOUR RATING

8:46 follows an ensemble of characters and storylines in the days leading to the September 11th attacks on the United States. Ten years later, this film was created to place audience members at the brink of the most heart-wrenching tragedy in American history, beckoning the message "We Will Never Forget". Often when people think of that day, the haunting images of the terror, the planes and large buildings being destroyed, the 2,977 deaths come to mind. This film was created to draw a more intimate, humane look at the tragic events of that day. This film is a reminder that thousands of innocent people lost their lives, and that each and every one of those people had a story. Each and every one of them had people that loved them, people that depended on them, something to live for... a life of VALUE. As we delve deep into the world of each character we witness the terror, pain and suffering, but also the hope, tenderness, acts of bravery and compassion, and the power of the human spirit. This film is dedicated in loving memory to all those who lost their lives as a result of the September 11 attacks. We honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives, and the brave heroes who responded to the emergency. They will never be forgotten.

Poignant 9/11 Tribute Film Featuring Real Survivors and 1st Responders A+

I saw this film at the GI Film Festival in May, and was thoroughly impressed with this first-time filmmaker's skill. This was a very moving .tribute that centers around the people affected, and there seems to be a character that everyone can relate to. It certainly moved everyone in the audience that day - there was not a dry eye in the house. It really brings the audience in and makes you feel a part of that day, giving a very different perspective than other 9/11 films I've seen. During the Q & A it was mentioned that there were real 9/11 survivors and 1st responders in the cast, which definitely added to the realism and emotion to the film. When I heard what a tiny budget this film was made with, I was even more impressed...it looks like a film made for much more. It was shot and directed beautifully, with some very strong performances. I look forward to seeing more from this young filmmaker.
