An Exploration of Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero | PBS
An intimate and profound investigation of the spiritual aftershocks of the 9/11 attacks. (Aired 2002).
For many people, the most difficult questions after the deadly terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were not about politics, military strategy, or homeland security. They were questions about God, evil and the potential for darkness within religion itself. For many, those questions didn’t go away.
In “Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero,” FRONTLINE producer Helen Whitney set out to discover how the religious beliefs of Americans were challenged a year after the attacks.
From survivors, who were pulled from the wreckage of the Twin Towers, to the widow of a New York City firefighter; from priests and rabbis to security guards and an opera singer; from lapsed Catholics and Jews to Buddhists, Muslims and atheists, this documentary explored and illuminated the myriad of spiritual questions that came out of the terror, pain and destruction at Ground Zero.
In the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, we are making a number of seminal documentaries from the days and years after 9/11 available to stream on YouTube for the first time. These documentaries offer a profound historical record of the attacks, what led up to them, the U.S. government's response and the ripple effects across the U.S. and the world.
