Windows On The World
Documentary
Non Union
New York City
This is a one hour doc for the 25th year anniversary on 9/11, with a specific focus on the restaurant 'Windows on the world' which was part of one of the towers at World Trade Centre. We are highlighting the space for what it was - a crossroads of ambition, culture and aspiration. It was staffed by over 400 people from 50 different nationalities and the doc follows some of the families while shaping a discourse around immigration, xenophobia and what it means to belong in modern America.
