Riveted them. They loved the song and story and asked how the kids survived the buildings crashing. "It was sad and happy at the same time." "Different people in different places helped the kids." "The kids smiled, so I knew they were glad to be back."
Stellar, powerful production. Sensitive treatment of a tough subject allows the viewer to hear the children's fears as well as their hope and resilience. Touching without being frightening. Inspiring. Shows more about hope for the future than the tragedy.
In the story of the Tin Forest, a lonely old man lives in a gray place, surrounded by other peoples' discards, but he builds the forest of his dreams. The story parallels the lives of the children of 9/11 who have healed and who tell their own stories.
