This special presentation explores the unforgettable real-life experiences of ordinary New Yorkers during the week following September 11, 2001. The program was shot by 28 professional filmmakers and ordinary New Yorkers during the week following September 11 as the city struggled to deal with the terrorist attacks and their aftermath.

A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: SEVEN DAYS IN SEPTEMBER is the first program to examine the events that occurred during that awful week. It started on a day in which New Yorkers woke up to brilliant sunshine and wound up living through perhaps the darkest week of their lives. New Yorkers’ eye-witness testimony and personal experiences have been captured to create a first-person, living documentary that reconstructs, minute-by-minute, those seven days. With limited commercial interruption, the program includes never-before-seen footage of September 11 from Camera Planet's extensive archive of that day.

Catch it if you can...
I know I'm gonna cry.

i always cry when i see footage of that or of any other awful event, right now i'm really sad for those kids in Russia, i was hoping it would end alright but yesterday on the news i saw that kids were killed but i don't know much else

i still dont understand why the have to keep reminding everyone of that awful event...its not like anyones gonna foget it...or forget what an impact it had on everyone. just makes people more depressed oh well off to bed...school starts tomorrow

I remember watching the clips of the towers falling so many times...ughh..

My wife and I had just been in NY 3 weeks before; we had decided to skip going up in the towers to go see the empire state building. My wife had actually lived for 10 years in New York when she was acting; we were in NY to signoff on the sale of her apartment on 23rd and 6th in Chelsea. My wife knew several people that died that day.

In looking around at different photos of 9/11 I remember seeing the ones of the folks jumping out the burning buildings...closeups...those still haunt me to this day...

I think I will skip this showing of Seven days...

You're wrong. People do forget. It's just human nature, really.

True, maybe not this year or the next, but give it fifty years, a few generations and nobody will remember, or if they do, look back on it like any other horrific event without much emotion.

No, it's already happening. Especially if you don't live in New York, people hear Sep. 11th and they're like "Oh yeah, I forgot about that" to many it's old news and it's probably because they got jaded with the footage constantly being shown on t.v. those first weeks.
