In The Shadow of the Towers: Stuyvesant High (HBO)

IN THE SHADOW depicts a unique perspective of that day through the eyes of eight former students at Stuyvesant High School, located four blocks away from the World Trade Center. The 31-minute documentary weaves footage of the attack with compelling commentary from these student eyewitnesses, who found themselves in the heart of the danger zone, fleeing debris, and with a harrowing journey home. Now adults, many from immigrant families, they speak passionately about the backlash against minority communities that followed the attack and the deep friendships with classmates that got them through.
