The year 2021 marks the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. In the wake of the attacks, the United States Congress established an independent commission to evaluate the government’s response to the attacks and the condition of national security infrastructure at the time. The commission was also tasked with providing recommendations on how to deter future security breaches. Naptown Media, an award-winning production company fiscally sponsored by From the Heart Productions, is producing a documentary film on the commission’s findings and the government’s implementation of its recommendations. The film will be distributed nationally through public broadcasting, and it will be accompanied by educational materials and a multimedia curriculum for classroom use. With Corporation support, the film’s producers will conduct interviews with the commissioners, the commission’s staff, and other government officials involved in the commission’s activities. Naptown Media will also begin to produce the accompanying educational materials, in preparation for the film’s public distribution.
