October is National Arts and Humanities Month, and at its core, Project Rebirth uses the art of film as an educational tool to share and study stories of resilience from those who have experienced tragedy, grief and loss. See how our films are not only a piece of art, but a chronicled journey of individuals who can teach us so much about hope and healing and teach our children and their children about the resilience of the human spirit. FILMS WITH A MISSION September 11, 2001 was a day no one can forget – a day of sadness and loss. For some, the losses suffered were unimaginable, the sudden and unexpected death of family members, friends and co-workers. Others suffered serious injuries or lasting trauma. How can people develop the resilience they need to overcome so much loss? How can we help people impacted by life’s greatest challenges as they struggle to heal, to move on and to face the future with hope? Project Rebirths Peabody Award-winning film, Rebirth chronicles the journeys of five people whose lives were forever altered on that unforgettable day. We watch their initial emotions of shock, anger, and confusion gradually evolve into hope, purpose, and renewal. Their compelling stories show that healing can happen and hope can return, even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Rebirth is the longest and most complete record of human beings coping with grief and traumatic loss in existence. It is a unique and remarkable tool for teaching, healing and research. Simultaneously, the film uses time-lapse photography to follow the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site. The result is a weaving together of two remarkable stories into an extraordinary film experience. Project Rebirth has recently completed a series of short films and a 10-minute immersive film experience, Rebirth at Ground Zero. They serve as centerpiece exhibits at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
