Producer Jude Coke and her crew were filming an emergency responder training video near the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, when the attacks occurred. They were the only camera crew allowed near the site for three days, capturing the response to the attack. This footage, which remained largely within the emergency responder community for years, is now being released to the public through a partnership with the 9-11 Legacy Foundation, forming the basis of a new documentary.

WHY IT MATTERS

The release of this previously unseen footage provides a powerful firsthand account of the 9/11 Pentagon attack response, honoring the bravery of first responders and serving as a testament to the importance of bearing witness to significant historical events.
