9/11 WTC - Through the Eyes of Children

"'The Class of 9/11' Remembers WTC Attacks Through the Eyes of First Graders" PBS Newshour 9/5/2011

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Finally tonight, another 9/11 story.

This one begins a series of reports on how the attacks of 9/11 have affected people in this country and around the world. What's changed in the decade since that fateful day?

Tonight, we look at the powerful memories of a special group of eyewitnesses: the students, teachers and parents at New York's P.S. 150, a school just blocks away from ground zero.

"The Class of 9/11" was produced for the Dart Society, a nonprofit organization that supports journalists who cover wars, conflict and other traumatic events. It is the work of independent filmmaker Jacques Menasche. His son Emanuel was in the first grade at P.S. 150.

Here are extended excerpts from the documentary.
