The two crises and our reactions provide a mirror on our national character and how it has changed over two generations. [Produced by American Radio Works (MPR) & The Center for Documentary Studies]

Changed New York
Even as New York begins to rebuild after 9/11, there remains a deep sense of loss in the city. This documentary presents stories of people whose lives have changed dramatically as they cope with the lasting impact of the attack: formerly unconnected neighbors who have found a new sense of community; people who have taken extraordinary measures to protect themselves because they fear another attack; Ground Zero volunteers who yearn for the intensity of their experience even as they suffer from post-traumatic stress and physical health effects. [Produced by WNYC, New York Public Radio.]
