will


This is a very simple story and one which I think will touch you.  There have been any number of takes on the dreadful events of 9/11 but I this is the first animated perspective I have seen.  This version of events surround a father and his daughter – their bond is not to be broken by history as it overtakes them.

This is a daring piece of animation – something as emotionally charged as 9/11 is, when recreated for what is effectively entertainment must, simply in the act of its creation, attract hostility from some quarters.

Yet Eusong Lee (an independent filmmaker from California) approaches that awful day with a great deal of sensitivity that, I hope, you are sure to be touched by its honest intentions, not to mention its content.
