The 2006 documentary "9/11: The Falling Man" was actually a documentary that I feel is a necessary documentary. Sure, there has been an abundance of documentaries about the firefighters, policemen, and other rescue personnel that was involved in the events that took place on September 11th. But "9/11: The Falling Man" tells the story of those that we haven't heard about, but all knew were there.
And while some people saw these terrible things with their own eyes, others only saw whatever was covered by the news and media. And while sitting through this ordeal, I must admit that I am a bit appalled by the fact that it was opted to quiet and forget about the people that decided to, for whatever reason I cannot ever possible determine, jump from the towers and plummet to their deaths below. Why would there be a need to forget about these people and pretend it never happened.
Sure, I don't agree upon the act of trying to trace down the identity of the individual in the iconic photo that was shot and world-widely frowned upon afterwards. But yeah, there was a story here, one that in no way deserved to be hushed and forgotten, but at the same time not one that needed to be delved into for finding an identity.
"9/11: The Falling Man" is a documentary that most certainly is worth watching, and one that sinks in under the skin and sticks with you, but at the same time provides some very enlightening informations of what happened.
My rating of "9/11: The Falling Man" lands on a six out of ten stars.
