This was sent to me last night. It is a short film about the The 9/11 boat lift, something that I didn't even know happened. It is approx 12 minutes, and you should watch it.

Politics makes it easy to be cynical. The rampant commercialism this time of year does too. This movie reminded me that not everyone is a shiny happy person.

That was great. It sometimes takes a terrible event to allow us to show what good things we are really capable of.

I don't recall any coverage of this, but there must have been some. I say that because I showed the video to my mother, and she remembered hearing about it.
