A fascinating portrait of municipal and private interests trying to make headway in the charged atmosphere of devastating personal loss and wounded national pride.

The Hollywood Reporter

This alternately amusing and heartbreaking documentary coherently chronicles the endles process of rebuilding Ground Zero.

Shared Darkness

A vital and in certain ways even cathartic documentary. It's a story about ego and hubris, yes, but also the better angels of our nature.

Rated: B+

A strong slap in the face documentary. Sometimes when there's money in the middle, all the rest goes second place. Step-by-step, moments in the big apple reconstruction time

I saw this @ the 2013 Maryland Film Festival and it was really good. A good examination of what happened to the 9/11 memorial and why it took so long. My full review @ http://on.fb.me/185Ygbz
