In Memoriam NYC

• We are going to watch a documentary about the
  events of 9/11 and the days following in NYC.
• What do you know about the events that took place
  that day?
• As you watch, what emotions do you feel? What is
  your reaction to the images?
• If you were in NY, how would you respond?

Discussion

1. How did you react? What emotions did the film
   elicit as you watched?
2. How does the film use music to set or influence
   the mood projected by the film? How would you
   describe the overall mood of the film?
3. In the film, as people come to pay their respects
   at Ground Zero, how do they behave? How are they
   remembering the events of 9/11 and those lost?
4. From what you observe in the film, how did
   America and Americans change after September 11,
   2001?
