witf honors 10th Anniversary of September 11 with special TV programming

Written by  witf.org

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, witf will be airing special TV programming. Get the complete lineup below:

1:30 p.m.

From the Ground Up - The story of five NY firefighter’s widows ten years after 9/11. We see how this tragedy has strengthened them, forcing them to dig deeper, to give meaning to their lives and empower their families and communities.

2:00 p.m.

Objects and Memory - Examines the response to items recovered or offered after 9/11 and other national tragedies. Why do people value objects? What is it about a piece of paper, a chunk of metal or a small coin that provokes such powerful memories? Without the objects, the stories would lack vibrancy; without the stories, the objects would lack significance.

3:00 p.m.

Frontline: Top Secret America - FRONTLINE and Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist Dana Priest ask how a decade of fighting terrorism has reshaped the country and whether it has made us safer.

4:00 p.m.

NOVA: Engineering Ground Zero - With extraordinary access granted by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Engineering Ground Zero follows the five-year construction of One World Trade Center (1 WTC) and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

5:00 p.m.

Frontline: Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero - FRONTLINE explores how the spiritual lives of both believers have been challenged since September 11 by difficult questions of good and evil, God's culpability, and the potential for darkness within religion itself.

7:00 p.m.

Smart Talk – The season premiere of Smart Talk will cover a 9/11 topic.

8:00 p.m.

America Remembers – 09/11 - PBS NEWSHOUR presents a one-hour special broadcast commemorating the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Frontline: The Man Who Knew - The extraordinary saga of FBI special agent John O’Neill. As the bureau’s top counterterrorism agent, O’Neill -- who investigated the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole -- joined then national security counterterrorism co-coordinator Richard Clarke in believing that the United States should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda launched a devastating attack on America.

11:30 p.m.

Frontline: Top Secret America - FRONTLINE and Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist Dana Priest ask how a decade of fighting terrorism has reshaped the country and whether it has made us safer.
