I'm on episode 3 of that Nat Geo documentary and yeah, it's a heavy, tough watch. But it's also a really important watch. It's easy to remember the towers burning and the enormity of what happened, along with the years long fallout but it's the individual stories that are so important. Those are the ones I'm most invested in now. I love how that documentary doesn't have a cheesy narrator, or a grave, dramatic soundtrack. It's horrific just showing it how it happened, and it's so effective in pulling you into it.
Also worth keeping in mind how abysmally the first responders have been treated since then. This is another video worth watching (again) and a topic worth reflecting on in the next few days.
