The acclaimed, powerful and unforgettable story of a diverse group of people who banded together in the face of danger and valiantly refused to surrender. United 93 is based on the searing events of 9/11 that shook the world. Painstakingly researched with the full support and involvement of the families of those who lost their lives as well as the flight controllers and personnel who experienced the day’s events, the film continues to be the best-reviewed major studio release of the year.
“Chasing Planes: Witnesses to 9/11” is a riveting 48-minute documentary that chronicles the myriad of experiences, personal dedication and touching insight of the civilian and military ground control personnel on that fateful day. Individual accounts and now historic footage provide a compelling look at the intense efforts to save additional lives and protect the country in the midst of chaotic and often conflicting reports with lives at stake and the security of the country under attack.
The documentary examines in detail the chain of events involving the four airline flights that were hijacked on 9/11 with the intention of being used as weapons, including the fateful flight attack that that was thwarted by its passengers and crew, United Flight 93. The documentary is produced and directed by United 93 associate producer Michael Bronner.
“United 93: The Families and the Film” is a 50-minute documentary containing intimate interviews that focus on the families and the actors discussing the emotional challenges of bringing the personalities of the passengers and the flight crew members to life in a way that conveys what director Paul Greengrass calls “a believable truth” of what happened during the 91-minute flight. The documentary is produced and directed by United 93 associate producer Kate Solomon.
