"The film to me brought out the emotion and sadness of 9/11 for the first time. During 9/11 and in the years following, I have been isolated from negative outcomes as I live in a peaceful, accepting neighborhood and city. I personally did not experience any negative consequences of the event. This film made me break down in tears, which, I honestly had not before. I had a chance to see 'the other side.'"

"I appreciated how it ended with emphasis on story, and hope. Thank you so much for creating a broader space for us to step in to and question, learn and bring stories and live to "news stories" and "those people." I am so grateful for people like you, fighting for love and believing it can conquer fear and hate. Bless you! Thank you for rising above the hurt."

"Hey! Thanks for opening my eyes to these issues. I remember hearing about these events immediately after 9/11, but I'd never pursued the stories behind them. Your movie was fabulous in its depth, detail, and feeling. Thanks!
I'm actually also a Stanford alum and I'm returning there next year to get a master's in education. I'd be really interested to hear about the educational offshoots I thought I heard you mention during Q&A. It was great to see you not flinch away from interviewing kids in the movie."
