America learned a lot about heroes on September 11, 2001. First responders, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and a host of off duty responders, construction workers, medical professionals, and everyday people risked their lives to help evacuate as many people as possible from the burning and badly damaged Twin Towers, as well as from the Pentagon. Brave men and women lost their lives on September 11, along with the victims inside each building and aboard each plane.

This is the story of September 11, 2001 -- the events leading up to it, the tragic day itself, and the aftermath. The shocking and inspiring documentary was created with the support and involvement of the victims' families. Without these brave and concerned patriots, there would have been no commission to investigate what really happened On Native Soil.
